Waiting for the Show to Begin

Here I sit on this cool rainy late February day anticipating the Spring season which is about to begin - much like sitting in the audience waiting for the curtain to go up and show to start! Spring is my second favorite season; it once was my best loved time but now I think it rates second to Autumn. Years of living in a region where there wasn't any true Fall changed that for me. This winter I did more in my garden than usual so I feel like I have a bit of a jump on the season, thankfully, but still there is always so much to do. I do want to simplify. Conserving time, energy, water and expenses while adding beauty to my little corner of the world are some of my concerns.
