We still have a ton of snow on the ground and what feels like the entire month of March for it to melt and replenish itself. It's called "Mud Season" for a reason I guess.
That's springtime in the Adirondacks for you.
But, oh how I miss the nicer weather. Just a peek of green to see from my windows would be really nice right about now.
And I don't mean Evergreens....We've got a TON of those....Thanks.
Looking back through my Garden album, I began to reminisce for all of that lushness. Our gardens budding into full swing.
All thanks to Fran.
He has the greenest of thumbs from working summers in a greenhouse as a teenager... naming all plants by their proper name while I struggle just to find the difference between annuals and perennials.
I walked along our acre today, taking in the blankness of it all. In contrast to the beauty of the summer.

Queen Anne's Lace

Our Vegetable Garden

Our Perennial Garden

Garden Flowers for the taking

And even though I am antsy for the warmer weather, I can wait it out.
Because if I could pick fresh apples from my yard...all year long, Spring and summer really wouldn't be as special as they are....
Would they?
