Photo: Taken in my garden today. I didn’t do it, I promise. And that’s a clay pot. Who knows what else is under there!
forging a path through
no shrinking from adversity
tulips in the midst
of a glorious spring fling
gone are thoughts of winter

I know, right! Nature doing what it does๐. I just noticed it yesterday. I hope it survives the stray cats that wander through here. Seeing it flower would be awesome, lol.

I have been ready too. The flipping back and forth with the warmth and the cold is making me nuts. After going coat less the other day, I’m freezing today. Patience, I guess๐

Yeah, same here! It’s incredibly nice one day, then goes back to bitterly cold weather. I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind, haha. But, you’re right. We’ll get there eventually! ๐๐ป

How fun! Your poem makes me feel like spring! I love the photo from your garden. Let us know what’s under the pot and thanks for participating.

Will do! I think whatever else is under there will be having a short life because this one is hogging all the sun.

I love it when plants do things like that! When I see plants that pop up in places where you would never expect it possible, I try to let them go. Like who am I to interfere with that kind of determination?

Yep. I’m wondering if I should water it. Then I think, that would be messing with the normal flow of things. But it might be already pretty moist under there. So I leave it alone. It’s between it and the rain now๐

I agree. It made it this far.
