When I get to February every year I start searching for springtime. I don't know about you, but I miss sunshine and roses. I miss seeing blue skies and fluffy clouds. I miss seeing new growth and the softness of yellow greens as they begin sprouting from tree branches.
So even though I am still feeling a bit under the weather, yesterday I had to go out for just a small adventure to look for springtime.
My daughter had sent me a picture of the witch hazel blooming. The witch hazel had been a birthday gift for me a few years ago; so I had to visit it and see in person the blooms. Also my favorite lemon tree was sitting next to the witch hazel; so I said "hello" to the lemon tree too. Usually there are lemons on the tree about now, but I guess since Jill repotted it there were no lemons. However, it was flourishing and full of leaves. Next year there will be lemons again. I just know it.
Aren't the blooms amazing? Or is it just me that is intrigued by these unique flowers?
Tulips are showing up at the market. Who can resist a bouquet of tulips at this time of year. I love, love super-market flowers. Often a bouquet comes home in the grocery cart.
