Rushing Spring

Yesterday, we trudged through the snow/mud mixture

that is now our yard

and made our annual winter pilgrimage

to the beautiful grounds

of Longwood Gardens.

This jaunt always gets us primed for Spring.

Below, a sampling of what we saw.

We are members at Longwood,

which is a short 15 minute drive from our house,

so it affords us the opportunity to pop on over to this tranquil setting

many times throughout the year.

It always seemed to me that these gardens

just miraculously appear

because we never seem to notice many workers.

Until yesterday.

I would say their job is a never ending one.

I'm counting the days until Spring.
