Spring is Here

Spring is a serious shift in energy. From the dark and calm of winter to the rush of life beginning in spring. It can feel buzzy and overwhelming to shift from a season that promotes hibernation to one of racing forward. We might see little green shoots pushing up through the earth, a little more light and a slightly warmer sun, although in my opinion, the wind this time of year in New England has a way of negating any help the sun gives us. For my friends in Midwest, it seems winter is still firmly hanging on and continuing to drop snow. I find myself impatient this time of year, or more so than normal anyway. I’m ready for full on warmth, 70 degrees and flowers everywhere. But spring is slow to arrive in the Northeast. Still, there is an air of rebirth in our midst. I might not be able to see what’s starting to grow yet, but I know it’s happening. And it has me thinking about what I might want to plant this spring. Maybe a flower garden, something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.
