March Showers and Flowers


A cold weather front parked itself overhead this past weekend. Saturday was cool but not unpleasant, with a steady drizzle that occasionally intensified into actual rain. Yesterday was far less enjoyable, with high winds and a constant rain that turned into sleet, hail, snow (!), and then back into rain.

Today, however, is bright and sunny, if windy, and it looks as though spring will be with us for now. The daffodils I transplanted last fall from the lawn to around the large maple are thinking about blooming, and the hyacinths I bought last week have started to bloom and are simply lovely. It's too bad they won't be in bloom for much longer - their shade of blue-purple is exquisite.

Plus, on this morning's walk with Wes I noticed tiny little buds on the forsythia, meaning that soon the yard will be awash in a sea of cheerful yellow. Hello, spring!
