A Glimpse Of Spring

No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. ~Proverb

How I'd love to have a grouping of these sweet pre-spring blooms clustered in front of my window right now. The aged pots combined with the fresh prettiness of the flowering bulbs speak of ancient gardens and the tender youth of spring gently renewing their acquaintance after a long winters rest.

Such a lovely reminder of the delightful newness that is lying just around the corner...

Won't be long!

(PS It's easy to make "aged" pots. Put some moss and buttermilk in a blender and then brush it on your pots, then keep them moist with a spray bottle. It works!)
