It Looks Like Spring!

A few days ago when DH and I were coming in from the hot tub, I looked over at the huge oak tree and lo and behold... the daffodils were blooming! I grabbed my camera and ran to take some pics, but they came out terrible. This morning I went out and took some more.

Then I opened the front door to see if just perhaps..maybe... Fed Ex had delivered my 2 Elizabeth Zimmerman books that I ordered from Amazon a week ago.. (they hadn't..sigh).. and I saw the weigela blooming in all it's glory!

While I was taking the pics of the weigela, I noticed the nandina...lol

I know we have several more weeks before we can count on the weather staying warm...but I love this time of year when the colors begin to show and the spirits begin to lift from the dull winter "browns" .. as opposed to the dull winter "blues". ;O)

The Signs of Spring

It's lovely here today...as it was yesterday if you discount the cold north wind that was breezing about. DH laughed when I wore only a long sleeved over shirt but had to have my neck scarf (Corriedale that I spun and naalbound) because of the cold breeze on my neck. Today the high should be 63 degrees F... It was close to that yesterday.

This is one of my favorite times of the year.. The daffodils begin to bud and the weigela beside the driveway blossoms.. a colorful respite from all the drab browns of the dormant trees. Spring is near!
