Sisters in the garden...

My two sisters and me - spring in the 1960's - it was fairy like - growing up in a garden....

Like most folks this winter - I am longing for spring!

I can't wait to get out there on the bulb patrol - that is what we used to call it - looking for those first few bulbs up - peaking through the melting snow - my sister usually found the first ones - she knew the sunny corner with the micro climate -

The snow drop is my first love - in the woodland where I currently live in Blair - there are double ones naturalized like blankets in the woods - gorgeous ! Tucked there lovingly I imagine, some many years ago. The stone house I am fortunate enough to call home, was built in 1842 - who knows when these snowdrop beauties were planted?

This spring - (say it ever ever comes along) - we plan to restore an historic garden here - maybe you will come see it - like a before shot !

It is so beautiful - inspiring really, I am very blessed ...
