It's Spring, right?

Forsythia

Lilac

It's been a long, cold, wet winter and we are really ready for Spring. I took these photos last week on one of the warmer days when it felt like it was really going to be Spring at last.... and then, boom, it got cold again. Really cold, winter cold. It's been that way for the last month, at least. a couple of beautiful days, then a week of cold and miserable.

Lilac

Stuff out in the garden is growing slowly, really slowly. But even though it's been cold and wet, there are signs of rebirth everywhere you look. I love to watch as the trees come to life again and start to put out leaves. Little tiny lilac buds that grow a little every day and the cheerful forsythia are reminders that although it's forty degrees out it's Spring, dammit.

Stripey and his Mom Moe are proving to be a pretty good mouse-control team. They've been hanging around the chicken coop all the time lately. Here she is giving him a couple of pointers. I know that's corny, but I couldn't resist.
