These photos of emerging rhubarb and asparagus are from April of last year, but MAN am I ready for spring. I need to find a way to embrace winter more. Winter brings many lovely things...snow banks, snuggling up with a book, a period of rest, soups. But when the gray and cold drag on, I begin chomping at the bit for green growth and thawing soil. And it's been sunny lately, so I can't really complain about that!
I started some seed flats in our basement though, and the shallots have just germinated so maybe that will soothe my winter spirit. In the meantime, I have never appreciated our houseplants more. Our christmas cactus and one of our begonias are about to bloom and I can't wait!
