Early spring has finally arrived. It's earthy, dreary, chilly, damp, but altogether lush-feeling to us winter-weary creatures. The ducks have patches of open water to swim through ...
We humans can be out and about with lighter jackets and a playful spring in our step ... hee hee
(Although hats are still welcome! Just in time for the brisk March weather, I whipped up some semi-matching hats for Mountain Man and me. The yarn is the yummy woolen-spun sportweight Cormo from Elsa Wool. His hat is a Cambridge Watchcap. Mine is a Rivendell.)
Best of all, the earliest flowers are beginning to grow out of the thawing earth and tentatively stretch out their petals. Witch hazel. Crocus. Snowdrops.
We went for a walk around Elizabeth Park yesterday and were delighted to come across the spring flower show. I remember this every year -- the excitement of stepping out of a cold, drizzly March landscape and into the warmth, color, and fragrance of the greenhouse.
Talk about lush! I was in rapture: daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, pansies, petunias ...
and will definitely be trying to carry this color through the week!
I can't believe you already have flowers, that's incredible!! those hats are too cute.
ReplyDeleteI dont know what makes me smile more the flowers or the twitterpated husband kissing his wife!

The flowers are so pretty and I bet all that color is a treat for the eyes during all the gray and white of winter. :-)
