The Picture of Spring

THE PICTURE OF SPRING...



Ahhhh.... Spring is here.

I had my windows open today, the snow is almost all gone for the first time in months, and our resident mockingbird was in full voice in the oak tree outside.

The picture below was taken a year or two ago, can't remember when, of my front garden, and I've just put it in here so I can be reminded how things will look soon, after all the back-breaking yard-work has been done, the old leaves raked up and things generally spiffed up again.

So now we begin in earnest watching the little leaves unfold from budlets on the trees, that lovely lime/yellow color of the trees in Spring, before the full bloom has taken place.

It's a time of renewal, of rejuvenation, of new birth, new growth, and a time to get our old white bodies out into some of Mother Nature's Elixir-For-The-Winter-Blah's -- The Sun. Minding, of course, to use that sunblock... Mother Nature has added a little "zip" into the sun these days, and it can get nasty on the skin if we're not careful.

The view below is in my rear garden area, looking a little scraggly, but inviting after such a long hard winter.

Come sit with me in the shade of our crabapple tree, and we'll natter on about all the fun we'll have digging in the garden soon!

Good night from New England, on this First day of Spring.
