Spring Cleaning

Ah... Spring.

A glorious and revitalizing moment in our year. Although today is just as cold... and foggy... as it has been the last month, I hold the anticipation of that first green bud close at heart. Why? Because I can actually see grass peaking through the snow!

Yes, friends, the time is near. Spring cleaning. And after a cold dark winter shut in my little apartment with piles of books and research articles, I gladly welcome spring cleaning into my life. But not inside. I am already counting down the days, crossing my fingers that the sun will peak out from behind the clouds, clear my little patio of snow, and hear the calling to take my broom and dustpan outside.

Really? You say (yes, I heard you snicker out there!). Really. Why not start off the growing season with a clean start? I want to welcome spring with the promise that I will be there, dedicated, every step of the way. And for me, that starts by giving my containers a clean place to sit.

Okay, so I don't even have containers yet, or seeds for that matter (gasp!) but the vision is there. And it will happen. I will have containers of green on my miserable cement patio. Friends, let's welcome spring with clean patios for a promise of a greener tomorrow.

Dust off those brooms, it's almost spring! :)
