Spring Inspiration

Over the last couple of weeks

I've been inspired by your posts

welcoming the arrival of Spring

in your neck of woods!

Of all the seasons

Spring is the one we long for the most.

"O wind, if Winter comes can Spring be far behind?"

                                                               Percy Bysshe Shelley

In the Northern Hemisphere
you've come through a very harsh Winter.

I've sensed your longing for
the first signs of Spring ...

and now all of a sudden there's a great flurry 
with talk of trips to the garden centre.
I've seen photos of your trolleys
laden with pots, plants and packets of seeds,
fertiliser, mulch, and even a new garden fork!

So the cycle begins again

of planning, preparing and planting

your gardens

for the long awaited Summer display!

The regular readers of my blog

will already know that I live in

New Zealand, where 

Autumn has arrived in all her golden glory...

so I have dug deep into my archives to

bring you these photo memories of my

glorious Spring from a couple of years back!

I'm joining Mary's "Thursday's Inspiration"
