When will your husband be home? :-)

I've found the cure for Spring Fever, In-law-itis, House-Never-Stays-Clean-Syndrome, Too-Many-Petsosis, and anything else that might ail you . . . plant some flowers!

I've been in a major funk the last week or so from all of the above. Late last week I bought a bunch of pansies and today I planted them! Five big pots for outside on the deck, and a bunch of little pots for in the house (two flats is a LOT of flowers!. Something about working with living things, the promise of a new life, getting my hands dirty, and the satisfaction of doing something that makes the world more beautiful . . . Right now I feel more at peace with the world than I have in a long, long time.

So, go to your local store, but a few flowers and some dirt and pots, and go to work. Guaranteed to lift your spirits (just like these wonderful pictures!).
