Birthday Month Celebration Day 4: Planning for Spring

Spring forsythia bush in a neighbors yard.

"You ought to know that October is the first Spring month." 
             -Karl Capek







I hate to be cold, so although I love Fall, I start to feel a sort of dread about the idea of winter starting. By late January, I start to relate with the people of Narnia in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, where it is "always winter and never Christmas."  By March, when the forsythia starts to bloom, I start to feel a little hope flood my soul again at the idea of Spring and Summer.   

This Spring, I got a little clipping from a neighbor's bush and have been rooting it over the Summer.   Today, to celebrate my 50th birthday month, my husband planted my little bush in the yard.   Hopefully, next Spring I will see some beautiful blooms.  

  

"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to uproot,"  
                        -Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2
