tulip leaves rising

from the earth

stirring my hopes

for myriad hues

My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.

    1. When I first saw the tops bitten off the one inch shoots I wondered if that was the end but now some frayed leaves are about 4 inches long. There are more fresh ones bitten near the ground so the suspense continues 🙂

      2. Yes, a struggle on a slower time scale…hard to absorb in a way. I imagine as the tulips and daffodils progress to flowers (fingers crossed) and there are some sunny days for photos etc I’ll write more…and knowing your interest will add extra inspiration.
