Today felt like the first real day of spring. You know the kind of day that tricks you into believing winter is finally gone for good. The sun was shining, the air was softer, and suddenly everything felt possible again. And of course, my first thought was: this is it, garden season has officially started.
I already want to plant all my flowers.
I didn’t even think twice. I just stood there, looking at the garden space, imagining colors everywhere…pink, yellow, purple, maybe even a little wild mix of everything. The best part is that this year I actually can do it. I finally have a place where I can plant things, dig into the soil, and pretend I know what I’m doing. That alone makes it ten times more exciting.
So naturally, I called my mom.
Because who else is going to either support my enthusiasm or completely ruin it with logic?
And of course… she chose logic.
She said it’s too soon. That it only looks warm, but it can still get cold again. That spring is basically playing games with us, giving us one nice day and then suddenly bringing back cold mornings like nothing happened. She told me if I plant now, I might just end up watching my poor flowers suffer. 😒
I mean… she’s probably right.🤔
Because…something's playing games with me or my phone just wants to drive me crazy, but when I check the weather, it shows it's going to snow?!? Snow?!? 😩😩
Spring has always been a little bit like this…beautiful, exciting, but also unpredictable. If you think about it, people have been celebrating spring for centuries because it means life is coming back after winter. In many cultures, it was the start of the new year, the time when everything begins again. Flowers bloom, days get longer, and people finally go outside without feeling like they’re freezing their soul.
And yet, even back then, I’m pretty sure someone was like, “Maybe wait a bit before planting.”
Some things never change.
Right now, it still feels like we are in that “almost spring” phase. The trees are starting to wake up, which is honestly the only proof that something is happening. You can see tiny buds, a little bit of green, like they’re testing the situation before fully committing. Meanwhile, the rest of the garden is still… well, empty. 😔
No flowers yet. Nothing colorful. Just potential.
That’s probably why I started looking at the photos I took last year. There were flowers everywhere…bright tulips, soft petals, everything looking alive and full of energy. But I took them in June…
😂
But, sooooon it’s coming back.
That’s the thing about spring…it doesn’t rush, even if we want it to. It takes its time. First the light changes, then the air, then the trees, and only after that do the flowers finally decide to show up and make everything look beautiful again. Wiiii…😂❤️
And here I am, already planning a whole garden before the season even properly starts. And yes…snow is coming 😩
Classic. 😂
I can already imagine myself planting everything too early, then checking the weather every five minutes like a stressed gardener who suddenly regrets all their life choices. Maybe my mom is saving me from that situation. Maybe she knows exactly how this story would end.
Still… I kind of want to risk it.
There’s something about the first warm day that makes you impatient. It gives you energy, ideas, motivation. You start thinking, “This is the year I will have the best garden ever.” Even if you have no real plan yet, no proper tools, and definitely no expert knowledge.
Just vibes. 💪
For now, I guess I’ll wait. Or at least try to wait. Maybe I’ll start small, clean the space, prepare the soil, do something that feels productive without fully committing to planting everything too early. That sounds like a responsible decision, right?🤔😂
Look at me, growing as a person.
But the moment the weather stays warm for more than a few days, I’m not making any promises. The flowers are going in the ground, ready or not.🤔☺️
Because spring is here… or at least pretending to be.❤️
And honestly, I’m ready to believe it.
( my mother in law is very bad at taking photos but she already has some flowers! 😂)
