What a glorious feeling’, I’m happy again (to quote Gene Kelly).
I am so lovin’ this warm weather. I love the sunshine. I love the wind blowing through open doors and windows. I love going for walks and sitting for long chats on the front porch. I love feeling the warm rays of the sun on my shoulders. I love the early blooms of crocuses, our own small sentinels that pronounce the change in seasons. I love the way the dogwood and viburnum are producing small buds on their branches. I love the red-tinged green of the first leaves on the rose bushes. I love working outside in the garden with my husband. I love watching my daughter hold worms from the compost for the first time. I love the sounds of mischievous laughter coming from the porch next door.
Spring is finally here. Hallelujah.

rebecca, i love the picture of the crocuses…is that how you spell that…anyway, they were always the first flowers to come out in switzerland and it takes me back to that beautiful time in my life every time I see them. It was super fun to see you and jeremy and hang out on the porch again. I have been missing you a lot.

RT– I love that you know the difference between a viburnum and a dogwood and you let your little girl play with worms!!

I can’t tell the difference between dogwood and viburnum. I wish I knew. I also wish I knew what kind of trees those are with the pretty white blossoms that smell like nasty fish.

The only reason I know viburnum from dogwood, penstemon from bee balm, unopened tulips from daffodils for that matter, is because I planted them in my own yard. : ) Otherwise I’m sure I’d have no clue!
