Welcome Spring!

Every Spring the first color spring flowers
on my terrace
Winter did not seem to end this year,  the cold continued endlessly, and one hungered all the time for the summer and warmth. And suddenly it's here. How can the trees so suddenly show their wonderful light green dress, the magnolias burst into fat blooms,  the cherry trees display their wild force of blossoms, and the wonderful exquisite dogwood shines through the woods.  It has happened again! I bought my first batch of flowers today for the terrace, bright beautiful dots for my red clay pots. I visited Louise and we went to took Cosco, this huge ugly mega store where everything is only available in triple quantities or larger at a discount price. I ended up buying more than I could afford, but do you believe it, they did not have flowers! Next to it was Loew's and finally I got to pick the first beauties, impatiens, petunias, some basil, a weeping heart, all in yellow, pink, blue, read, magenta! I planted it today and realized that I needed more! It looks sort of sparse, but vow I know what it will look like in a month or two. What fun.
