whimsical wednesday!

at the time of day when darkness had previously come on whimsical wednesday there is daylight!  our "celebration" of said change was highlighted in this whimsical wednesday's activity....a late afternoon/early evening walk.

after several days of rain and gloom today dawned sunny and warmed throughout the day; making the walk a lovely time outside.  the walk's mission was to seek out evidence of emerging spring bulbs.  this is a special spring treat for me as each thanksgiving weekend the family plants all varieties of bulbs, concentrating on a different area about the farm each year.  as the only one to be able to enjoy the emergence and blooming of the bulbs, it is my joy to see the gentle reminders of family time together.  today's walk was not disappointing.  in many planted areas there are much vegetation, other areas have just a hint of plants poking out of the earth, a few have signs of the flowers closed on the central stem.

there's much to report to the family about our spring bulbs after today's whimsical wednesday daylight savings time walk.  they were here with me in spirit as well as in the bulbs.  happy daylight savings time!
