from my window | spring emergence

i love daylight savings time... I know that Daylight Savings Time isn't technically a holiday, but I gotta say that it is one of my favorite times of year that I eagerly await. With its arrival last weekend came the immeasurable delight of once again being able to pull my car into the driveway after work, sling on some boots, and go traipse amongst our woods and gardens, camera in tow.
I continue to be in awe of the peace and relaxation I get from spending some quality time outside. I'm the type of person who can never shut off their head, so relaxing is not a forté of mine. It is only when I am outside taking in the beauty around me, that everything else dissipates from my mind and the rejuvenation begins.
I raked back the mulch from the lilies and garlic and am happy to report that all are doing great. The garlic had a 100% germination. I'm looking forward to this summer's taste test when the hardneck Siberian garlic challenges the softneck Early Red Italian.
Even some of my roadside replants are doing great. The Lily-of-the-Valley are spreading nicely and the charming phlox has taken home in its new location. Everyone is slowing awakening from their winter's slumber.
