Seedlings sprouting in spite of slow spring

It's taking its sweet time coming, but it is indeed spring. It is a season of renewal and growth for us and for the flora that nourishes our bellies and our senses.

Here are my seedlings for tomatoes, peppers, dill, lavender, inpatients, coleus and pansies. They are about 3 weeks after sprouting here, and pushing on up despite the light snow that fell last night.

We are 3 days into spring by the calendar, but we still we wait for that warming up, the gentle buzz that alerts us all of new life.
