This is from a few days ago when we had lots of frost around. Now it’s rain, a good step on the way to spring.
Happy Saturday.

February 21’s Friday Fleurday
I saw some buds on the ash tree saplings lining one of the city streets! I unfortunately didn’t have any kind of photographic device with me in order to post a picture here, but these little buds were a wonderful sight to see!
In that spirit, I’m posting some spring flower pictures from last year; I hope they brighten your spirits and help you to forget for a bit about the cold, the wet, the snow, and the wind.
Happy Friday!

(Not Quite) Wordless Wednesday
A winter evening clear and calm …

Walk with Me
Some scenes from a recent walk.
We had a moisture-laden snowfall that is now melting quickly in our rising temperatures. It’s squishy, sloppy and wet, but completely nothing, of course, compared to what much of the rest of the continent is experiencing. Good luck with that ongoing situation everyone, and I hope winter is finished snowing on you.
Much too wet to sit here …
… but rising temperatures and clearing skies are wonderful to see …
… and hopefully harbingers of springy things to come!
Happy Tuesday.
A Later Sunset
Thankfully, the days are getting longer even if many of us are still contending with very snowy, cold, wet and/or windy conditions.
I’m hoping this is winter’s last hurrah before packing it in and declaring itself blown out!
Happy Monday.

… for the very, very beginning of spring?
Fingers crossed! And although I know that February can be temperamental, I take encouragement from the fact that temperatures are up, the wind is down, and the ice encrustments?
Those are starting to melt.
To everyone who lately experienced those huge snowfalls and wicked temperatures, I wish you very prompt blue skies and controlled – because of all that snow – meltings.
Happy Sunday.
