In the Midst of Chaos, Spring...

It is comforting to know that while everything else around me is uncertain in this day and age, I can still rely on spring coming and bringing sunshine and color back into the world.  Every time that I step outside my front door, or come back up the driveway to the garage, I see this beautiful forsythia.


I planted this back in 2010, and it was just one sad little stick from Aldi.  Now it is the embodiment of spring - bright yellow sunshine in flower form, boldly showing its face in the cold and grey.

Today I washed all of the windows and put the screens back in, another sign of spring on its way.

I am behind in planting seeds for my garden.  It needs a lot of work out there because JP was unable to help convert the raised beds back to normal garden last winter due to having another retinal detachment and surgery.  I sort of put things off this spring, uncertain if I would be able to garden after having foot surgery this spring.  Since elective surgery is postponed for an unknown period of time, I need to get on the ball now.

I did FINALLY finish the project that I intended to do over the winter 2 years ago.  I finished building a music box with my dad's help.  I both looks and sounds beautiful!


Enjoy spring in your neck of the woods, just practice social distancing while you are doing it!
