The chives are among the first perennials to sprout in the spring. Today the garden is still covered in snow and the ground underneath is stone hard. I'll be optimistic and say that sometime around Easter I'll walk into the garden, look down and see several new green shoots marking the beginning of a new season. The flowers and bees will follow as they can be depended upon to do every year. This picture was taken on a warm, sunny June day when everything hummmmmmed.
