I feel the earth move

Happy Bloom Day! I have absolutely nothing to show you that you haven’t seen on other northern blogs (brown. a few cold & lonely bulbs, shoots looking promising), and Craig’s snowdrops are miles ahead of ours anyway. Nonetheless, we’re celebrating–after a weekend’s rain swept most of the snow into the creeks–the feel of the earth giving under rubber boots, the movement of a confident stride across wet grass instead of slow trudging in snow, and mud on warm naked fingers while we WEEDED and cut back old dead stuff that is not interesting at all minus the snow.
It’s the bloom on our cheeks we’ll be happy with for a while.

Thanks, Carol at May Dreams Gardens, for getting us thinking about & showing off our colors.
