Valentines Day and a Hope for Spring

Valentines Day is just around the corner, and there have been plenty of ads about giving your sweetie flowers and candy. Flowers and roses are one of the most popular gifts that many give on the popular (yet somewhat) commercial holiday. Roses and assorted flowers are both very beautiful and thoughtful gifts to receive, but sometimes their pretty color and splash of life, just don't seem to last long enough...

--which leads me to my next topic...

During the months of spring, flowers can last much longer than just a week at a time. Although, currently snow seems to be sleeping and resting upon the once luscious green lands of the Midwest, and its almost impossible to grow anything too beautiful in the cold icy ground. So while we wait for spring's much awaited arrival, the loving celebration of Valentines Day and the gift of flowers (while life-span is short) will just have to do for the time being.... until some longer lasting flowers can find a new home in our yards at home.
