Small blooms brings hope.

Here we go, today it is raining, it is warm at 41F(5C)  We are to get rain this afternoon, up to 2 inches.  We will see.  Also, tonight that moisture will turn to snow and that is at 100%.  Snowing yet in the morning and then the wind comes up to make it a blizzard warning. Wind warning from midnight tonight till 3:00 PM tomorrow.  All I am going to say is stay safe, stay warm.  Question for me will our plant plugs come tomorrow?  And hope they stay warm. 

Australia family and friends at Sale, are having March 5th a very hot day.  High today for them will be 89F(32C) again with humidity. This is 17 degrees above average high.  For them, stay cool, stay safe.

I enjoyed working in the greenhouse yesterday.  I planted pansies and violas.  I have been asked why I am still working, and this small bloom is the reason why.  I do so enjoy seeing how the plants grow and bloom. 
The plant you see is a viola, and it was blooming in the plug tray.  I hope you can see how small the plant is and see what it is doing. Blooming.  This is a plug of 288 so it is bigger of course than the plugs of 500.  That is the number of plants that are in a tray. 
I see so much in those blooms.  Hope of spring and new life.  Hope of the change from the winter season.  Hope that the enjoyment that little plant bloom will give to us all. 
I found some of these quotes and wanted to share them with you.  They say it is better than I can.
