Being privy to all these blots of green emerging from hibernation just does my soul good. It's so darn exciting. The arugula is up, the roma tomatoes have sprouted, the magnolia is moments away from unfurling its petals. The strawberries with which I blindly stumbled and dismissed as an error on the trial and error part of gardening appear determined to prove me wrong, are sending out runners and making their way through the wet earth. I never cease to be amazed at the miracles of Spring.
