Do you see the green, Ruth?

MY THYME

Each time I go to Ruth's Garden blog, I'm so enthused viewing her pics of her little sprouting plants and then I've looked outside at our snow...and more snow and ice!

When I posted my photo of this thyme back in the winter, I wondered and wondered if it would survive our winter this year.

Well, Ruth, do you see the green?

Sign that spring is coming...

PEEKING OUT AT YOU!

Oh, don't you just love the time of year when it's evident that spring or summer is coming if it's been a long winter? I sure do. We've had some pretty terrible storms the last few weeks with lots and lots of snow and today for the first time, we had a bit of a thaw and there under the huge depth of snow on my round glass patio table appeared a wooden watering can that I use for growing my thyme in.

I forgot to put it away for the winter but there it stands "peeking out" through the melting snow as if it say, "Pat, I'm here! It won't be long till you start to enjoy the thyme within me!"

I long for May 24th weekend to arrive so that I can start to plant once again in my garden. We daren't put any tender plants into the ground until then due to our harsh winter weather and the danger of frost still lingers.
