spring is finally here! the daffodils came first, then all at once, the white pear trees, the pink japanese magnolias, the yellow forsythias. peach, apple trees, and redbuds will soon follow. the grass is vibrantly green and the sky is rain washed blue. the brown dirt is crying out to be planted, but before the rush of gardening chores begins, we will glory in a hillside of daffodils…














what lovely daffodils. i can not wait for ours to begin blooming in chicago. unfortunately spring happens later here than most places.
