WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE?


It has been a long, cold harsh winter. Temps were frigid for days on end. Now at long last, they are starting to normalize a bit, warming ever so slightly. Cabin Fever is over because the snow has stopped and I can get out and about. But I decided I was in need of a pick me up. So I went looking for a little spring. Where better to do that, than at the local garden shop. I figured the bright colors and fragrant blooms would lift my spirits and make the winter doldrums go away. However, I discovered nothing but rows and rows of empty shelves at the store, inside and out. No plants or pretty flowers to be had, anywhere. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement for sure. The calendar says spring is here. But the snow still on the ground says not yet. Are you ready for spring? Has it sprung where you’re at?
