Officially went for my first spring walk. I think that the weather has turned the corner from winter and it's time to come out of my cocoon. Been a thoughtful 2 months. Lots to decide. Let's just say that my mind is on education and the next stage of my life ( Read more... )

It's cold outside, the wind is blowing, it's cloudy, but...green leaves from several bulbs popped out recently. They paused with the recent cold snap, but, I know them.

Glad to get that cleaned up ( Read more... )
