The Queen Awakens

"Come apart from your busyness

to be renewed and refreshed

in the company of growing things.

It won't take long,

but it will feel like a day in the country."

-Emily Barnes-

Time Began in a Garden

Winter is finally taking its' last gasps as Spring finally starts to make her appearance.

Yes, fellow putterers, its time to start clean-up winters' shenanigans and clear the entrance of wondrous Spring.  

This is a patch of helleborus gone amuck two weeks ago.  Simply some pruning up of the weather-worn leaves, and two weeks of growth and BOOM, this is the reward:

A 'hellebore forest.'  This queen does not need a tiara, she delights all whom are lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her.  Long live the queen!

Another stalwart maiden by the mailbox is this beauty, the Viburnum 'Pink Dawn'.  I adore her fierce ability to withstand the snow and cold as well as her beauty.

I invite all of you to wander out into the garden and as Emilie Barnes says, "Come apart from your busyness to be renewed and refreshed."

Cheers,

garden fingers
