The Garden Is Waiting

Went for a walk and problems I leave behind,
trees are still all bare but the birds do not care; 
songbirds twittered giving me such peace of mind.
Sweet it will be when there is warmth again in the air,
the garden is waiting and soon my blooms will be twined;
every seedling planted inside is thriving-   even have lots to share.

Love the thought of thriving...its connection to the word alive, perhaps. Congrats on your win here, Constance, We had a hard freeze early April right at the wrong time, two nights in a row and though I covered them, my two early bloomers are having a rough time of it.

Reason, thanks so much for the congratulations, out nights here are still too cold to put the seedlings in the earth so it is a waiting game, will be glad to get my window sills back _Constance
