When the icicles hang and the ground is white it is hard to imagine that Spring will come again.
Always in February I get a longing for warmth. Our winters are long..and cold. And there hasn't been a thaw in months and months. I long to take Sadie out for a walk. I want to eat out in the courtyard. I want to feel the sun on my face. Instead I am cooped up inside and hibernating like a bear.
So here are a few pictures from my Spring garden last year as a reminder that color will be back in my life. If not soon...at least for certain.

Your spring garden is so lovely, Peggy! I was laughing over your hockey pucks! I understand your bread rising problem. I was making bread by the time I was ten. The only bread we could have was homemade. We always had a furnace or a warming oven in a wood stove. I haven't tried it for years, because I don't know how to raise it. My oven's lowest setting is 180º F. which is too high. But, hey, your valentine-shaped cherry cheesecake looked spectacular! Stay warm and safe!
