at play - Looking for Spring

Last week the first day of Spring arrived with warmth! .... This was an unexpected treat - Winter does not give in too easily here in New England.

Ice ages and spring thaws arrive hand in hand ... coming and going  ...  we are here waiting and searching with of any sign of Sister Spring's return ....

Out for explore last Saturday, the raised gardening beds had risen ... and even in our absence, the brave strawberry plants have set out their newest leaves....

Just  a week before the beds still lay in blanket of snow.... we laid out fresh straw as morning frosts are always still near by ...


Day by day now, we are waiting for color to return to our world. Happy Spring!
