Dear Spring,
I’m so glad you showed up. I suddenly feel much more optimistic about … everything.
Tomatoes, basil, mint, oregano
I have new herbs planted on the balcony, and I had my first hummingbird fly-by of the season this morning. He was a beautiful ruby-throated specimen. It wasn’t Tony. This one was a little wary of me. I’ll call him Ned.
I’ve been filling the feeder for weeks in anticipation.
(If you fill it, they will come.)
Fall always used to be my favorite season, but you’ve really grown on me over the past few years.
I don’t want to scare you off, but I think I love you.
So thanks for being you. I’m so glad to have you in my life.
Love, Beth
