Wow, has it really been more than two weeks since I’ve written last? I’ve been catching up on other things. But I’ve missed writing. I ran some errands today and when I came home I noticed growth. In front of our porch, tulips are starting to poke up their heads. I very much enjoy flowers-craving the sun and counting days until I can start my seedlings indoors! I forced some bulbs for the first time last year. I put my cherished bulbs into pots, then left them in the freezer to have them bloom earlier than they would in the ground. I failed to water them...so when I pulled them out, well they aren’t doing so good. A number of the pots have mold growing on them or around the bulbs, others just aren’t responding. One pot however, has done well. Reminds me of the parable about seeds being planted in different soils. What makes this different is that they were all potted at the same time, with the same soil, into well-washed containers. But they are different bulbs. Makes me think that the conditions may be right, but if we plant the “wrong” bulb it simply won’t survive or thrive-or worse yet, it will. I’d probably have a more astounding interpretation to all of this, if I weren’t so darned tired. Typically I do quite a bit of analyzing. So this isn’t like me to leave a thought half-processed yet share it with you. Huh, that’s growth too. On that note, I’m going to pore over my seed catalogs and dream of warmer weather and longer days, with many a flower adorning my vases. Happy soon-to-be spring to you all!
