There is nothing that feels more decadent than shuffling about my plants to fit them all in the greenhouse for the winter.
I could pretend these nasturtiums are to go with my salad greens or the herbs I overwinter or the other mildly responsible plants that allow me to feel justified in keeping the heat on.
But in truth, it is that their bright blooms from seeds worth pennies make me feel like the luckiest woman in the world on a dreary January day.
Some days I look around and find it hard to believe that the pandemic, and all that has come with it, really exists outside this world of garden sunbeams.

Thanks to online ordering and curbside pick up at our favorite local garden store I was able to dress up our window box. Now I can just see the pansies peeking through the window from inside.
Voila!
We supported a local business and added instant spring cheer to the place!
How are you finding spring cheer? Have you been able to support your local businesses?
I’m participating in the April Squares challenge over at The Life of B!
One April day the girl looked outside as the heavens opened wide and giant snowflakes filled the air. Large and wet they stuck to everything and turned the newly greened land white again. 
That night as the girl sat by her fire she pulled the first tick of the year off her dog, and thought to herself, “Spring is super weird.”
