Spring

Spring is upon us and what a welcome idea that truly is around here.  March in our part of Washington was full of rain.  Yes I know it is the northwest and it rains here.  So that is the rumor I hear.  Well this past March we had double the normal amount of rain and it had begun to feel like the building of an ark was needed.  Now April has arrived and with it the weather has changed just enough that I am dreaming of this...

And I can almost smell these...

And know that soon blooms like these will be everywhere...

Yes it is that time of year when everything is new again.  Isn't it wonderful?!?!
