Hope in the Basement

Spring is not popping up out of bed with a spry leap this year, and I'm sorry for it. She's put her feet on the floor a time or two, but howling winds and grey skies send her scuttling quickly back under the covers.
















The army of coats hanging in the mudroom is still on active duty.











But there's a secret weapon---hope--- sprouting in the basement.

Man you guys are missing out on some fine weather:D
We have already started planting our garden and have quite a few sprouts poking their little heads out of the ground!
I cleaned out our asparagus bed today and found quite a few sprouts. I was pretty surprised that they were already coming up.
I think we are going to plant some tomatoes next week!:D
I'm looking forward to getting everything planted.

I tried to post a comment, but for some reason it disappeared when I hit post.
I have to go now and my last comment was very long so I'll just say that your pictures are very nice, the weather is very nice here and I hope you have a GREAT day!

Love and hugs
Don't forget to smile!!
