Optimism

Perhaps it is overly optimistic of me to think Spring might arrive sooner than later this year...but I'm thinking that all of this RAIN (and NOT snow) might mean something wonderful? A girl can hope!! A gardening girl especially! Though the day is dark and truly dreary, it gets like this in Maine, I know, I have thoughts of little green heads popping out of the frozen ground. Of course, sunshine to warm the soil would be lovely, but it is still only February and the forecast is not giving me alot to wish on at the moment. Soon, soon, soon enough....small and tender shoots of green will push their little heads through the ground and prepare to delight me! I cannot wait...and yes, while today does seem to scream "It isn't over yet!!", I can nurture my spirit of optimism with thoughts of Spring. It will be here at some point and I will be ready.
