The calendar says it will be spring tomorrow - March 21st. As I look at my fig tree just outside my home office window, I see that the new leaves have opened and am reminded of Matthew 24:32 which states, "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near....." Even though in Texas we can even have all four seasons in a week, I do love the Sun Belt and get anxious to dig in the dirt and plant Spring color as soon as the weather begins to warm. I hope you are getting ready for Spring's arrival, too.
Wish I could have a fig tree but the rodents here killed the one I planted in the first week. I'd replant but my husband doesn't want to encourage the rats and ground squirrels. Enjoy your fruit - it's certainly hard to come by in the stores.
