Beneath March Snows a Garden...

 Beneath March snows a garden grows...

We are four days away from 'officially spring!'

This morning we are enjoying a little lull between gales,

as well as a brief rise in temperatures

 allowing rain to melt the weekend accumulation of snow!

Beneath March snows a garden grows

And happiness begins to sing

Of robin trills and daffodils

And sunny days, fit for a king

Beneath March gales a garden hails

And happiness begins to dream

Of sun-warm earth and planting mirth

And picnics on banks of a stream

Beneath March b-r-r-s/g-r-r-s, a garden stirs

And happiness begins to bloom

In tulips hues and greens and blues

And heady scent of lilac plume

Beneath March chills a garden spills

And happiness begins to cheer

Our hearts in spite of white on white

Because springtime is almost here

Janet Martin

For all of us who preserve summer for winter,

we are never far away from our gardens!
