I am sooo excited that TODAY is the first day of spring!! I am tired of shoveling snow!! I am tired of 30 degree temps!! My aspen trees already have buds on them – they are ready for spring too!!  Spring is so pretty here in Colorado.  All the brown dormant color starts to turn green and you get the “itch” to start planting flowers BUT you don’t!  When I first moved here, 19 years ago, I was told that you don’t plant flowers until Mother’s day!!  Spring weather will suck you in and make you believe, oh it should be fine to plant now,  and then you will get another freeze!  So we wait – chompin’ at the bit for another 2 months.  Spring time is exciting because it’s full of anticipation for a F.U.N. summer and I AM READY!! 😉
