S Is For… Spring!!
Contributed by Tina Holland.
Spring has finally sprung here in North Dakota. I think we all officially believe it when there is no snow in the forthcoming forecast.
Grass is green here on my farm, and my daylilies are starting to break free from the ground. Spring is my second favorite season, after Autumn. The days are still bearable (I can’t stand the heat or the mosquitoes of summer), and plants are starting their growing season.
It is a wonderful thing after what feels like a barren winter wasteland. FYI – North Dakota is mostly prairie, we only have trees near rivers and in towns, so the wind blows, along with the snow, and there isn’t the beauty that trees bring to winter.
I always have big ambitions for a garden in the spring, but then it never quite pans out. I do get out and do my morning pages, we have some fires in the evening as it is still cool and generally enjoy the much warmer weather and even the rain.
Spring is also my second favourite season. Here from the A-Z. All the best.
