The daffodils are up!
And so are the dandelions…
…and these tiny little purple flowers that are everywhere…
…and the snowdrops have already come and gone (this photo is a few weeks old).
The trees are budding…
…and the Indian Plums already have flowers.
And in the garden, we’ve planted pea starts…
…the garlic we planted last fall is thriving…
…last year’s kale in the cold-frame is going crazy…
…and there’s more starts in the greenhouse waiting to be planted (from left: blueberry, onion, and more peas; not pictured: another type of onion starts we planted last weekend, our new rhubarb plant, dormant asparagus roots, and seed potatoes, also all waiting to go into the ground – not to mention our large box full of saved seeds from the last two years and our enormous seed order on the way from Victory Seeds).
Snail sex, I think…
A dog enjoying the sunshine (complete with fresh gooey turkey poo stuck in his fur – he loves to roll in the stuff – it’s the black stuff on his neck on the right side of the photo)…
…and the cat with the biggest eyes ever, enjoying her own patch of sunshine.
