No matter where you are (OK, almost anywhere), signs of spring are abundant. Some of you are excited to finally be seeing those fantastic little green buds on the trees - the promise of full, deep green leaves of shade. Others of us have been enjoying varying degrees of spring weather - the cool days, the warm days, but thankfully not the hot, steamy days that lie ahead. For me, this is the best time of year and it is already going by quickly!! I love getting in my garden and getting my hands full of earth and turning the soil to cultivate our summer vegetables. We have asparagus popping up and are looking forward to planting our tomatoes soon. After living in Vermont for many years, I relish in the ability to start gardening in early May as opposed to after Memorial Day. As much as I miss Vermont, I don't miss that last extra 4 weeks of barely winter/barely spring that taunt you.
