Even though we’ve had amazing tank-top almost-summer weather, I am reminded of the road signs coming down I-70 from the mountains that say things like “Truckers! Don’t be fooled! You are not down yet!” I feel like we may still be in for some cold and etcetera. After all, March is typically Colorado’s snowiest month. So I am not done with posting floral inspirations for spring – not yet. The good news is that there is a little grass in my yard, and a few violet leaves, and shoots of the unknown plant are pushing though the soil. I hope to turn over the garden beds this week.

I’ve seen a few trucks use the emergency side roads when their brakes failed. Scary stuff. They are talking about a drought in England. I’m hoping for a lot more rain this winter/spring.

Those runaway truck “ramps” always fascinated me as a child when we saw them in the NC and WV mountains. I’ve never seen one in use, but always have been tempted to test one out now that I’m a “grown-up”.

Great analogy for our almost-spring-like weather, Seasweetie! I love the smell of geraniums–strange??

No, not at all strange! They have an interesting, clean smell to them.
