This spread of dogtooth violet is proof positive that spring has arrived! Hooray!

Crocuses in our back yard gaily announce springs’ (somewhat tardy) arrival.

Here comes a downpour.

My desire to post has flagged this week.
Wednesday and Thursday were windy and unseasonably warm; the high both days as 31. Shades mostly drawn, windows open only an inch or two to keep the worst of the heat out, yet let some fresh air in – we won’t put the a/c in the window yet. Today’s high was 9 and the windows were closed to keep the warmth in.
This spring has definitely been an interesting one.

These little daffodils are so attractive that I descended to their level – ground level – for a better perspective.

Winter wheat grasps spring sunshine.
The calendar reports that spring began 17 days ago.
Winter begs to differ.

Our senior dog Stella, outside on a warm early spring day. The relative warmth undoubtedly felt good.
