Spring, is like a breath of fresh air, being renewed, coming back to life. That's what this season is about, afterall!  Spring is surely around the corner as I saw my first two robins on February 3rd. and two days later, two cardinals. The snow on the ground that is at least eight inches deep, says differently.  Regardless what the groundhog on February 2nd. saw; there will be six more weeks of winter on the calendar.

With joy, I've noticed it's staying lighter, longer and the sun is rising sooner in the morning. I look forward to spring, the colours, the smells, and the first flushes of new growth in the garden. Yes, spring is indeed around the corner.  In the meantime, with the snow and cold that surrounds us; we can peruse the garden catalogues and traipse through the home and garden shows.  Don't deny yourself the opportunity to do some indoor planting and  getting a headstart on the season or try designing or revamping a new garden bed on paper. Check some of the websites that allow you to design your garden online, ie; Lowe's and Better Homes and Gardens are two that I know of.

Happy Gardening!
