The upside of late winter...

Wow, what a beautiful day here in south central PA! This morning, on my way to work, I ran to the grocery store to pick up a few items. I also stopped in at Stauffer's under the guise of looking for a specific something. Truthfully, I just wanted to go in and smell Spring.
You know that dirt, earthy smell that greenhouses get when the first annuals and perennials show up? Yup, it was there all right.
Only had a couple of minutes to spare, so I traipsed around and looked at the oxalis, and the primroses, and the pansies. Got my fix for the day. Thursday I think I will go back for a longer visit to buy some pansies for my window boxes.
I like the way they smile in late winter.
