Bringing the promise of spring indoors...

"You make me feel so young,

you make me feel so spring has sprung"-Frank Sinatra

Last week began with two beautiful spring-like days.

It's so true that sunny spring weather puts a spring in my step.

I feel invigorated and ready to put on my running shoes and head outside for some exercise.

Then several gray rainy days followed those two spring-like ones.

I felt slower, more sluggish, and I had to force myself to exercise.

We're still a month away from spring's official beginning,

so I better practice some patience, endurance and self-discipline!

Meanwhile, I'm on my second round of forcing hyacinth bulbs to bloom.

I love bringing the promise of spring indoors in winter.
