Wishing for Spring

Photo by: Dawn M. Turner

Today I really need the sun to shine.  It is currently overcast and gloomy looking.  After a cold and snowy winter, I am ready to see and feel the sunshine on my face.

I think we all get that yearning at times, although right now it is really, really strong for me.

I did feel my spirits lift a bit yesterday as the sun peeked through the clouds.  It shone on the seeds I am currently waiting impatiently to sprout and push through the soil around them.  Of course, Gary just planted them up earlier this week, so they do need some time to germinate.  However, I do have to say that I was extremely excited to see two of the flowers that were planted up begin to push through the dirt a bit.  I am sure they could sense the sun shining just a bit and were eager to feel it on their stems and new leaves.  The other seeds are still drowsy and thinking about the possibilities that they represent.  I am sure that our seed warming mat is encouraging them to try for their potential and burst forth from the sleepy soil any day now.

Until that time, I will just keep wishing and yearning for the warmth of Spring to take over and spread all over me and my yard.  I am itching to make things pretty outside.  Just a tiny bit longer…
