Monday Brings the Rain


Monday is here and with the dawn comes rain.

It's a warm rain, almost a harbinger of the spring flowers that are not all that far away. The first of many seed catalogs has arrived and with that comes the imagining of what the 2010 garden will hold. It's always a delicate balance - some vegetables for eating and some flowers for beauty, a few of the tried and true plants and boldly experimenting with some new ones. So much to think about and so many choices.

But it is January and snow in the forecast is a reminder that there's still time - to dream, to plan, to imagine.

O, wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

~Percy Bysshe Shelley

I am one of the 39 MILLION people who have watched this video. Okay, I've watched it a few times but if this doesn't bring a smile to your face, not much will. Bookmark it, embed it, save it. On a day when the world seems a little dreary, just hit play.
