Welcome to Wednesday's edition of A TISKET A TASKET, PUT ROMANCE IN YOUR BASKET. I'm so happy to be part of the egg hunt!
I love spring. It's such a joy to see the tips of my tulips and dafodils peeking up through the soil. My lilac bush has lots of buds on it. And the rest of the perennials are starting to awaken from their winter slumber. (Of course I was really bummed this past weekend when all of my lovely signs of spring were covered in snow...but I'm not bitter...no, not at all...)
I can't wait for the colors to burst forth. Pinks, purples, yellows, reds. All of it will be such a joy after the VERY white winter we've had here in the midwest. I am hungering for a touch of color.
And it's starting to get there. Each day the grass turns a little more green. Soon the buds on the trees will burst wide, spiling forth their lacy leaves. And the bright flowers are coming. I know they are. I just need to have a little more patience.
One of my favorite displays in spring is our neighbor's magnolia tree. It is truly a sight to behold.
What's your favorite sign of spring? Trees budding? Flowers blooming? Birds chirping? Leave a comment for the chance to win a PDF of "This Time for Always". I'll post a winner on Sunday.

Now that it's Spring, new growth is popping up all over the place. I'm tempted to linger outside and enjoy the weather. All right, I confess, I did give in for a while. I sat on the patio and read from my kindle, with Rascal nearby basking in the late afternoon sun.
It's so very tempting to play hooky from writing and continue to enjoy the weather, with all the new growth around me.
