The moment winter softens into spring and all is melting, the first flower is the white snowdrop poking through the snow; followed by johnny-jump ups, so cute and delicate, they just pop up, over here and over there and everywhere in bright patches. And then come the drifts of bulbs planted in hope last year, the flocks of crocuses, daffodils, and tulips all a dulcet mingling; some even grow on my lawn, but I don't mind really, the whole garden will soon be wild and dripping with flowers. Oh, just for a while though for these beauties fade quickly away, but I have plans for my garden, oh yes I have hopes and dreams; all I need is spring to arrive and for birds to return to my garden, then, you will find me planting and resting in the shade.

It's wonderful to find hope in your garden, Dear Heart, where flowers always seem fresh and promising. Very nicely done! Congratulations on your win. There were many wonderful entries to this contest and nearly all of them were difficult to rank. Best wishes, Carolyn

Beautiful and etheric! We need gardens and flowers and visions of them, shaped in magical words. Made my Day! Thank You!

Andrew, thanks for the visit, it was really nice to think and write about the magic that is flowers, made me forget the strong cold wind outside my window just for a moment ~
