March started with beautiful sunny and calm weather. Children were wearing shorts. I worked in the garden without a jacket and thought it was summer already! But last week we have had turbulent weather. It is cold and I long for my warm gloves again. That is March.
In the garden, despite the cold wind, nature wakes up. Luckily. As I look at the pots on the terrace, I see the first tulips flowering. Are they to soon? This same question comes up every year. “Spring stress” catches me. That is March too.
Will the garden be to early or to late? I view the pictures on my computer and feel relieved. In 2017 the garden was just like it is today. But during the open days in April the tulips in my garden were in full flower. So all will be fine on April 19 and 20 when the garden is open to the public again.
March. I have to get rid of that spring stress. I better admire the red-leaking leaf of the tree peony. Greet the first daffodils; appreciate the fresh leaf of the roses.
Because that is how it is in March, always. Spring stress turns into spring fever.
Enjoy your week

New followers a warm welcome!
It's so nice to see signs of Spring. We still have snow on the ground. Hopefully, it's gone in the next month. Your photos are a welcome sight.
