The flowers are so pretty, especially after the hard winter just over.

I think Mother Earth must be as happy as we are that winter is finally over!

breezy here. Signs of spring? The wind, the juniper pollen, and the mustard weeds taking off. The trees and shrubs? Still sleeping.

big and yellow.

I guess I finally figured out how to prune it and it is not waterlogged this spring. Happy spring!

my apricot bloomed and leafed out simultaneously, pomegranate is leafing out and doors have been open most of the week. it was a little cool and windy yesterday but 70s in the day and low 40s at night - pretty nice weather here. I am sure by writing that it will either freeze or hit 100 in a few days. oh yeah April can be like that.
