One could do worse than be on the lookout for flowers.... I was so nervous about our trilliums; we erected a shed right over/next to where they grow and in the trampling and mud and muck I was afraid they'd been lost. Then there they were, all unfurled fists of light green and over night the trinity of white.... and yes, they're turning pinkish at the edges already.
This is so beautiful :) this spring is my first time with a full garden since I was a child. I am currently 31 weeks pregnant and definitely anticipating change. I woke up this morning to my sunflowers sprouting! So exciting
Substack articles are piling up waiting for me to read and this is the first I’ve read. We travel south tomorrow, I’ll have time to read during the miles down, time to swim in all the words I’ve been pushing aside for the perfect time. I’m looking forward to catching up. I’ve missed the voices.
I'm currently waiting for my phlox and my cosmos to bloom. It is always so very exciting when the very first ones open up! My globe amaranth is always the last perennial to emerge from the soil, and every year we wonder...will it come up again? Your peonies sound stunning; please share a photo once they bloom!
"I'm waiting for something to change." Me too, Tresta. Me too.

Spring is a miracle; waiting for changes to come is, too. (p.s. my word for the year is change. Just sayin'... https://jodycollins.substack.com/p/change-a-poem)
