there are mountains of snow outside my window the temperature is well below zero the trees are wearing white gowns some are like skeletons reaching for the sky the sky is winter pale &the wind is howling but I am dreaming of Spring wishing for flowers herbs like mint&rosemary growing in my kitchen window I can see everything in my mind the volume of color&hues daffodils&violas &painted daisies in my overflowing garden a bright sun in a blue sky fluttering butterflies, bees&birds the overwhelming variety of pansies&petunias oh, I do love nasturium tumbling bright poppies&coneflowers &cannot forget the tulips or forget-me-nots . . .

This is the time my garden too is adorned with blooming buds, flowers and butterflies and it gives me a lot of delight. In your land when winter has spread a blanket of snow, when every trace of green is wiped out, I can relate how much you wait for the arrival of spring when your garden will be once again filled with pansies and petunias, daisies, daffodils and violas! Lovely, dear Constance

this poem with its beautiful imagery spoke to me of the hopes of spring. Liked the imagery in this line: the trees are wearing white gowns some are like skeletons reaching for the sky. Our daffodils emerge recently but still no blossoms...I venture outside every morning urging them to 'come out' Too early, though. :-) Thinking of spring, Sara
