SPRING, How I Love Thee!

03/05/2010, tags: about, spring

WOOHOO! Spring is here! Spring is finally here! I love Spring. It is sunny, soft & mild with every plant coming to life and blooming. Spring, to me, is like St Valentine every day. Trees are greening everywhere and flowers of all sorts show up. It's just so romantic. So when I spied the very first primrose blooming in my garden the other day, I was as excited as a kid, knowing that spring is making its presence felt, chasing Winter away. Then I saw the tulips and daffodils slowly peeking out of the earth in my front yard. To my delight, a single yellow daffodil slowly started to bloom. What a beautiful sight to behold.

I'll share a secret with you: I'm envious of my neighbour's garden - whenever spring is here, their garden is totally covered with different coloured primroses. It always takes my breath away and this is the beautiful view I have from my kitchen. Lucky me - at least I get to enjoy it!

Can't blame me for being excited about spring for it had been a cold winter with lots of snow this year. It's the first time we ever witness Clermont-Ferrand being under snow like this since we moved here end of 2007. Believe me, I'm not complaining (unless I'm the one shoveling the snow. LOL). I'd rather have snow than endless days of non-stop rain and gray sky as we had in Nantes. With snow, at least we can still go sledging, have snow fights and build snowmen. Well, snow is fun but anyway I rather have spring any time of the year.

So here are a few shots of signs of life in my garden to share with you.

I'm so happy for you that the cold is slowly disappearing.
As for envy, I do feel that whenever I see a colourful garden. I used reasonably "green" fingers, but nowadays anything I plant seems to be destined to die!:-(

A very good friend of mine who lives in the US says that every time spring comes around, she thinks about God and how amazing life is when thing just springs (no pun intended) to life.

can't wait for spring to get here... have a great weekend!

Spring is here but it definitely does not feel like spring at all in my city. It's been raining and cold. I don't know where all these rain came from. On top of that, my daughter's allergy just started. The gutsy wind is just blowing pollens from afar and making allergy season worse than it was last year.

Yay for you Pam... love that Spring is finally there. What pretty flowers! Beautiful!!

Lovely pictures which brighten another wise grey, cold day, I know, I know spring is on its way, should hurry though.....

Beautiful! We had our first taste of Spring here yesterday and hubby rushed outside to barbecue some pork chops. This made me go outside - which is a good thing otherwise I might not have seen my gorgeous crocuses in bloom! It cheered me up all afternoon:-)
