Springing Forward...

As I drove through Buena Vista this morning coming from a closing...I looked around and was overwhelmed at how many trees and shrubs were pushing blooms towards the overcast sky. The grass seemed greener than usual and flowers, such as jonquils and crocus were popping through freshly laid pine straw. Then it dawned on me...my yard doesn't look like this, heck, no yard around me looks like this. Could it be that the affluent also enjoy the unique privilege of enjoying Spring a little earlier than the rest of us?

Another testament to the benefits of properly landscaped and manicured yards...hmmm...guess I'll detour through Buena Vista when I need a pick-me-up until Spring officially arrives at my home or maybe I'll just spring for some new pine straw and create my own little slice of heaven!
