Hello Green!

Header from samulli
I DON’T know about you, but I suspect you, too, are sick of winter. Here in Wisconsin, we’re subjected to almost FIVE MONTHS of finger-numbing conditions – from November well into March.

Believe me, it wears on you. But finally it’s all changing!

A recent unseasonably 70-degree day inspired me to fling open windows and doors and dash around my soggy, still yellow lawn to inspect my bulbs. Were they growing yet? Yes! I saw a little green poking out of the soil.

I decided I had to nurture that green, that little hope of spring. So sending positive vibs to my emerging flowers commemorating spring’s arrival and tossing in some St. Patty’s Day cheer—here’s my list of 13 green items.

1. a bottle
2. the vegetation around a waterfall.
3. clover
4. a hoodie
5. a butterfly
6. a leprechaun
7. celery
8. bamboo
9. peas
10. a “Go Green” sign
11. my backyard (hopefully soon)
12. gumballs
13. a sculptured bush

How about you? What’s the weather like in your hometown? Has Spring emerged? Or are you still shoveling the white stuff? Send a comment to let me know. I’d love to hear from you.
