I thought I’d write about the snow this morning. The last one of the season—that was to happen in April. And then I got up to find the sun shining and 40 degrees. It’s Oklahoma. I’m not griping. I am done with winter.

I dug out some jonquil bulbs that I thought I got rid of last year and gave them to a friend. My Hosta is up and so is my Clematis. I’ve got to clean out the grass around the iris before they start to bloom. And I pulled the dry basil seeds off the dead branches so they will sprout. We’ve got to have basil!

We went to a party yesterday and renewed some old friendships. There were people there I hadn’t seen in a long time, and it was fun to see them again. We put on our boots and sweatshirts and braved the cold to go out. I am so glad we did. I got to play with their dogs. Since I don’t have one anymore, it was fun to pet a new one.

I have a busy spring schedule with travels and conferences, but I’m still writing and will still be blogging so everyone can keep up with my boring life. I’d love to see what you are writing and what is growing in your garden. Send me pictures of your flowers and spring garden. Maybe it will encourage me to plant something new.

Spring is a time of renewal and the resurgence of old things. I hope you grow like the flowers in your garden, and you will feel renewed with the season.

What are you reading/writing/creating/growing this week?
