Signs of Spring


What a glorious day. I don't care what the groundhog says--for today, at least, we could pretend that spring is here. My old heat-loving kitty could warm herself in the sun,

it was a perfect day to jump around outside,


and the Red-flowering Current is ready to burst open.

We have a tradition here that the blooming of the Daphne is the official beginning of spring for us, and we celebrate with milkshakes. I can taste them already...

The weather has been almost unreal, hasn't it? Sadly I don't think my daphne made it through The Arctic Blast.

By some miracle I actually thought to cover up my Daphne before the big storm. It is looking a little ragged around the edges from the cold weather since the storm, but there are lots of buds.
