Catherine, that's what makes it all worth while isn't it! We have three wooded acres here and it was meant for flowers, etc. Every spring is a new beginning that is more glorious than the last one, and it brings new energy with it if you have your health. Even though you may have seen every bud in past years, it's like discovering each new flower for the first time. We are lucky enough to have a virgin woods that surprises us with different wild flowers each spring.
I know it sounds corny, but I love just standing outside at 5:00 am watching a beautiful sunrise and looking at all the plants. I know it will end one day, so I soak it in as much as I can while I can.
