These little guys are popping up. Already! I just want to tell them to get back in that ground, that you're going to freeze your little buds right off! This is what happens when Virginia has had sub zero temperatures and record snow falls, for weeks on end, weeks! Then we get one day that breaks 40 degrees and these little guys think it is spring!
But it certainly feels springy around here. Never mind that school was canceled on Friday due to ice, and then another cancellation today due to flooding. The temperatures are still low... but it just feels like spring; and those little buds are just proving me that I am not the only one around here who thinks so!
The buds and I have been acting like it is spring. For example, on my 'snow day' on friday, I whipped open the windows, re-arranged the furniture, and did some honest to goodness spring cleaning! I even bought a new vacuum. That very same day I wanted to go on a walk with Hubs. A walk! For months now, I have been content to cuddle up with a blanket, and maybe take a stroll in the winter snow. And here I was, wanting an honest, healthy, heart-pumping, walk. Trouble is, it has been pouring down rain for the past 4 days. So I have a healthy case of cabin fever!
Rain... isn't that another sign of spring?
January showers bring February flowers... it just doesn't sound right!
