In Greensboro, the persistent rains kept many people inside on Sunday. However, on Saturday, a lot of people were out enjoying the day- even though a little snow tried to fall. The above photo captures a scene at the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market on Yanceyville Street, a place that is sure to brighten your day and bring a little color into your life, regardless of what mother nature is doing outside.
For the last two years, spring was in full swing by this time. Not this year. At the moment, winter is lingering and making Ms. Spring wait patiently. She is unable to flaunt her spring greenery, which is almost always breathtaking in Greensboro. A few bold plants such as the pastel flowering hyacinth, golden daffodils, and milk white pear trees are starting to blossom. If we are lucky, blueberries and other edibles will a wait a week or two before they start opening.
Everyone is anxious for spring to arrive and tired of being cold. Before you know it, we'll all be complaining about the heat. Let's be patient, now. Happy Monday, dear readers.
longest
winter

Oh well, spring has sprung much later than this year. We will all appreciate it more when it does!

Beautiful flowers at the farmer's market!
Spring will arrive eventually and as you say the hot days of Summer will not be far behind.
We have had buffet style weather here in So Cal, a little bit of Spring with pleasant middle 70s, some very hot days in the 90s last week and a few freezing nights here and there add in high wind warnings that last a day or two at a time and dry everything out. Blooming flora, breeding fauna and sneezing people dressed in light layers because who knows what the day will bring!

The calendar or the weather usually tells us it's spring. Either way, it triggers an atavistic desire to plunk things into the soil and pray they grow to a point they can be plucked. When we have to wait to plant, it's like "grrr, really?"
