The Grateful Nubs

 At the time I write this, my toes are as cold as it is outside. LB2 and I went for a walk today and I am still trying to warm back up. But I noticed a curious thing as we walked. I saw signs that spring is around the corner.

I saw the little nubs of our peonies poking cautious little heads out the ground. I saw baby iris blades tentatively revealing themselves. And young daffodils showing their greenery. Lb2 said it was a bit early for them to be showing up. "Them" being the daffodils.

 He said the peonies must have loved all the snow and cold we got this winter. That was probably why their nubs were poking out. We might have big luscious blooms this spring. He also mentioned that it was normal to see iris blades this early.   

I enjoy looking at the seasons change around me. Watching the world around me come alive each spring is a experience I don't want to take for granted. As always, feel free to leave me a message below.
