spring?
I don’t know what to think of it. Is it here yet?
Yes. And then No.
And then kinda sorta, ah forget it.
February had blooms and snow and rain and 80F and freezing temperatures, all jumbled together.
Today is pretty dull, dank and chill. My daffodils and jonquils haven’t burst open yet, but locally, I see their sunshiney faces welcoming a season that hasn’t really arrived in others’ yards.
My winter blooming camellias are still blooming. The whites, variegated somewhat with my reds, began to bloom about a month behind the reds. Reds started in earnest in December. Whites sometime in January and are still hanging in there.
I should have deadheaded them more than I have, but well, see prior posts, things have been a mite crazier than usual around here.
I am holding out hope that things will settle down sometime soon…back to the usual mayhem.
I had the day off yesterday, and my writing group met. I have some more margin notes and a few more edited and typed paragraphs into my final chapter, so close, but for time to sit down and finish typing the sucker er, manuscript out. Last Chapter. Really. That close. My Chapters are quite short, mere pages. Wish me luck and the time and headspace to do it, please.
In the meantime, have a lovely Leap Day!
Last chapter!!! So close. Spring is definitely here – four beautiful sunny days in Dublin – our daffodils and crocuses are out, the cherry blossom trees are bursting with purple promise and even the grass looks greener…… happy days.
yay spring in Ireland!
I’m not sure we really had winter this year in VA, very very mild…. Maybe my confusion is because I never got to play in snow.
Thanks, Alana, for the writing cheer!
