The Beauty of Spring

Spring is in full bloom with beautiful flowers sprouting up all over. Many stores have an ample supply of bedding plants, hanging baskets and patio containers. Colorful petunias, geraniums, marigolds, and pansies are a delight to the eyes.

Nurturing flowers is good for the heart and soul. Digging in the dirt to plant some bedding plants can actually be quite relaxing and calming. It makes you feel like you are "one with the earth". When you're done you'll feel a sense of accomplishment and have something beautiful to look at for the next several months.

If digging in the dirt isn't your thing, pick up a couple of finished hanging baskets or patio containers. You'll add some color and beauty to your life without getting your hands dirty.

Either way, don't forget to add water!
