| crocuses, thyme, and daffodils |
A beautiful spring day in the neighborhood. Trimming back the knock out rose that the squirrel has been using as a launch pad to the bird feeders, raking out some of the leaves along the fence, starting the cutting back of the fountain grass, and just generally enjoying the warm sun. The birds seem no less happy--making lots of noise as I work--with the pruning than the squirrels, but I'd like to think they understand it means they might get more of the food meant for them!

The crocuses are in their glory, and the daffodils and hyacinths are lining up to follow shortly. Every year they are a joy to see. This year, especially, I am thankful to the Creator as the trees begin to bud out. After an especially long and cold winter, I was not sure what to expect. I love winter and sweaters, but spring is an always welcome reminder of renewal and new possibilities just when it seems hope is a waste of time.
