Too soon

I walked through the garden district, on 28th Street.
First I was hit with the sweet smell of lilacs in bloom. Then bundles of pussy willows. Oh how I love their soft touch. Wow all those bulb flowers, daffodils and the other fragrant bulbs. I see the plants pushing up from the soil in the parks and gardens of home too.

But it is too soon, these are all the signs of spring. Today is still January and though I am enjoying the warm winter I know it is odd, even somewhat eerie. I am grateful for the cold of winter when it comes. It makes me love the warmth of spring even more.


 


Little yellow cup
Little yellow frill
Little yellow star
and that's a daffodil!
