1st Day of Spring

The damp of the March rains and the descent of cool air from the arctic north are creating a chill in the air that makes me want to stay indoors by the warmth of the fire. The garden is calling my soul, and I know that as soon as the front moves through, I'll be fully engaged in another season of magic in the Dragonfly Garden.

Outside my window, the daffodils are blooming, the grass is growing like wildfire, deciduous trees are starting to leaf out, and the wild plum tree blossoms are adding splashes of white to the rich dark green of the surrounding forest landscape. The Red Currant is blooming and waiting for the arrival of the hummingbirds. They are a little late this year and I wonder how they are doing on their long journey back to the islands.
