Number one joy, is the small green buds I noticed the other day on my back porch.
My once 'dead" blueberry plant has come back to life! I wasn't sure what would happen after that long, clod Kentucky winter. Amazingly, it did. What does that mean for the actual berries? I'm not sure. I bought the seedling last year from the grocery store and shoved it in a pot. I think I got maybe 10 blueberries. There are quite a few blooms on it now, so maybe I'll get enough for a blueberry pie??Only the spring will tell.
I also added a few more plants to the patio this spring. In an effort to make my home a little more appealing, I bought some geraniums and some sort of purple flower to liven up the area. (The first free Saturday morning I have, I'll be at the farmers market to add some herbs, cilantro, dill, basil. Can't wait for that day to add some more greenery)
I planted the new flowers Thursday, left for work and when I came back from my standard weekend away, I'm pretty sure the geraniums grew a good half inch and they look like they are going to get a few more blooms.It makes me smile. I never much cared for geraniums, but these, these tiny white buds bring me a lot of joy.
Much of that is thanks to the rain. The never ending rain. It's one of the pitfalls of spring around the Bluegrass. I guess you could look at it a metaphor for life. April showers bring May flowers, etc. etc. etc. Of course around here, it's a lot more than showers. Friday a funnel cloud went over my house. Luckily, all my beautiful plants more than survived. They are thriving.
Let me tell you, I cannot wait to one day take these flowers and fruits and transplant them into a real yard that will last for years and years to come.
That begs the question, when will the my current winter of life end, and bring my own personal spring?
