I took an opportunity while Sophie was napping to go out into my gardens and clean them up for the coming blooms.  I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since I planted the gardens this past summer.  I’ve been anxious to see how my hard work last summer has grown and spread and I was not dissapointed.  Pulling away the dead leaves and rampant weeds I found one bud after another, parents and babies starting to reach for the sky.  I wondered last year as I was planting if the desire to keep up with my gardens would remain or if I would lose interest after such a long winter break.  Well, my desire has only grown and I can’t wait until after Mother’s Day when I will start on yet another garden to nurture and love and find next spring waking up from its long winter nap.
