Springtime at Home

As the weather grows warm, we emerge from our snow-covered cottage and begin in the garden.


Don't you just love how ferns unfurl? They don't just grow, they emerge, they unfold. There is bound to be a beautiful metaphor in there somewhere. Not being the ones who planted the garden, we waited impatiently to see what surprises nature would offer us. We discovered some hostas, daffodils, tulips, and lily of the valley. I spent an hour or so pulling weeds and Erik dug a trench. Then came the mulch!
