This is the month of hearts and chocolate. Yep, no doubt about it; in the midst of cold weather and rainy days we can smile in anticipation of at least one morsel of the richest, melt on your lips and fingertips, confectionary! I confess to eating at least four pieces in rapid succession J
Anticipation seeps into each day when I walk around the garden. Crocus’ and snowdrops are like tiny jewels scattering their bright colors across a landscape of drabness.
Catkins hang from the contorted Hazelnut like elegant pieces of jewelry. The hundreds of daffodils I planted several months ago are peeking out of the ground. Colors and perfumes are on the way!
Anticipation warms my fingertips when they fly across the keyboard coaxing ideas and thoughts from my imagination and bringing life to my writing. I have recently resolved a huge plot dilemma and now I can’t wait to sit down and move the story forward.
Creative power is a heady perfume, not unlike the tiny white flowers of the sweet Sarcococca casting its joy across the garden.
Got to love February –it points the way to spring!
