TRANQUILITY

             The weather at the Jersey Shore is all the talk! As a rule, when I run into someone who insists on mentioning the weather I think that we have very little to say to one another, however, the seasons have changed in both timing and nature and to me, this is extraordinary. In any other year, you would not see this post until the end of April at least, but here it is mid-March and things are blooming quite early.

 

               A CHILD IN A MEXICAN GARDEN by Grace Conkling

                         My garden-ground is very green,

                         With little streaks of light between,

                         And walls all made of white and red

                         Hold up the sky above my head.

                         I think sometimes that walls so high

                         Will never let the clouds go by;

                         But always, somehow and at last,

                         Over they slide and travel past.

 

In years past, this would be the week we plant our peas, hoping that the ground will be soft enough. The ground is plenty soft and our asparagus have made an early and very exciting appearance.

With Spring upon us, it is a new year in the gardens with new/old (heirloom) seeds to plant. I am hoping for a calm and tranquil season...so, how about this weather? Hope it is good in your neck of the garden.

Linking this post to A Haven for Vee for her notecard party...I think these pictures would make beautiful note cards.

Susan, your photos would absolutely make beautiful note cards!...:)JP

[Vee]

Oh a mosaic note card would be nice, too, Susan. Yes. I'd not thought of that. I really like the daffodils. So quintessentially spring!

[Pat in New York]

I love the photos of your asparagus poking through the soil, Susan, as well as your daffodils and Spring flowers. I think nature gave us a wonderful gift this year of a mild winter and early Spring. We deserve it after last year's record breaking snow. :)

They are beautiful, especially the daffodils!

Susan,
The pictures would indeed make a lovely set of notecards. The shades of yellow and green are beautiful.

What a lovely peek into your spring garden. We enjoyed seeing your selection of photos for Vee's notecard party!

Is the last photo (purple-y bells) an anemone?
