Spring delayed , Winter extended

Locked away in the basement

working on things that I should be working on

when the snow is flying, 

and here it is,  April!

See my face through the blinds?

Looking , watching , waiting ?

Yet I,  still buried in fleece, huddle inside

occasionally breaking out 

to do walkabouts in the yard looking for signs.

 
Warnings of  rain,

of snow …. of both

A compulsive outing ends with

FOUR peonies  in my south window with the violets.

Hostas carried over starting to leaf out

My winter basement garden

watered and patiently waiting for sun’s first light.

 Plans swirling in my mind…

 Come Spring!
