Anticipation!

Today is the day everyone is in anticipation.  Will the groundhog see his shadow?  Will we have six more weeks of winter?

In the garden, spring is already being anticipated by the early bloomers:

Will either I or my garden be able to wait six weeks?  Famous Phil says spring will come early this year. I hope he is right.

"One of the most delightful things about a garden is the anticipation it provides." -  W. E. Johns, The Passing Show
