Spring mix

Since I knew you were positively dying to know–my bleeding heart is coming up. Seeing how I always forget to plant my spring bulbs, it’s always the first sign of life in our flower beds.

A friend spotted it the other day and exclaimed, “It looks like asparagus!”  My thoughts exactly.  Although I must admit, when I went out to snap a photo, it seemed to have grown, right before my eyes.  And now, oddly enough, it’s morphing itself into wee celery stocks.  I’m simply amazed that I haven’t noticed this phenomenon before.

Perhaps I need to get out more.

But that it not the point of this post.  The point, dear friends, is when I looked at the LCD screen I noticed my bleeding heart was not the only thing popping up.  There was a flower–a real, honest-to-goodness flower.  It’s the little things, is it not?

And that’s what I wish for you.

Some of you are ending spring break, others are just getting started–the rest of us fall somewhere in between.  No matter where this weekend finds you, I pray your days are sprinkled with a little color, and happy surprises spring up where you least expect them …
