Getting there
Posted on | April 29, 2006 | 9 Comments
Spring up here in the north part of the country is a gradual unfolding. Each day, a little more–but not all at once the way I always felt it was in Connecticut. Maybe I was too busy to notice before? The lilac blooms before they’ve burst. The way the grass is suddenly lush. The outlines of branches no longer stark, but soft and blurred with buds and blooms.
In the backyard at the house, a riot of forsythia. Birds everywhere making nests. And the sheetrock is finally up!

Beautiful! This is the time of year that always amazes me…I have not yet grown tired of watching the buds appear and then the flowers. It seems like things have really accelerated this past week in NW CT…forsythia, azeleas, magnolias, daffodils, tulips…it’s wonderful. I’m guessing you’ll see that in VT pretty soon! You’ll know summer’s almost here when those lilacs bloom…I can almost smell them now:>
