Jump start spring ...

Spring is just days away, but it will be weeks before some areas of the country see any flowers in bloom.

Are you yearning for some color? Some sign that spring is coming?

Buy yourself some flowers
It may seem indulgent to buy flowers for yourself, and it is. But buy them anyway. Flowers are popular for a reason. They make us feel good. They lighten the mood and remind us how incredible nature is.

Go for the daffodils
Have you seen the daffodil bundles? They make their first appearance each spring at the grocery store. Small bundles of dry daffodil stalks with closed buds. Cut before they blossom, the daffodils are dormant until cut and put in water. I buy them every year just to watch the show.

If you can’t find daffodils, try something else ... maybe a potted plant that’s flowering.
