Stormy skies bleak and dreary
Or, if we just look a little further
we may find a little blue sky
just within our reach.

365/33 Tuesday February 3-2009 I had gotten these glass vases filled with tulip bulbs. When the bulbs had grown, bloomed and were done I decided I would hunt for another bulb to replace them. Watching the bulbs grow roots in the water, produce their green shoots and glide up and over the rim of the vases is an enjoyable and makes me feel like spring is just around the corner. I planted 4 of these vases and this little guy took off immediately growing inches over night. Now I have a the bulge of a bloom at the top. The others, well they are still being stubborn producing just a few straggly roots here and there, but that's OK it means my bulb watching days will last for quite some time. As soon as the blooms pop rest assured I'll be back with updated photos.

365/30 January 30-2009 - I spotted this lone brittle leaf hanging amongst the twigs and evergreens. It probably doesn't look like much does it? But it represents the end, the end of winter soon to pass it cold and chilly days officially on to Spring. With warmer days and less heat needed at night I'll soon see new buds and shoots coming from the renewed Earth. like the paperwhites I'm forcing to bloom on my dining room table. There remains just a few hangers on of winter, like the leaf, resistant to give up the home it's known for a year. Maybe it's like we are resistant to give up habits and traits of the past to try something new in the future, I'm like that are you? Maybe it's time I let go along with the leaf, after all ,at almost 60, I shouldn't be fearful to try something new now should I?
