it seems like winter was so long ago.

first spring weekend

this was the first weekend of spring and it was worth the wait! temperatures were in the mid 70's and after a long hard winter, it seems like things are actually looking up... especially the daffodils! i spent as much time as possible outside trying to soak up any and all warmth available. i ran the dog down to the creek so he could have a quick swim and through the woods to see if we could find where the eagles have nested this year. i watched the mister relocate leaves and rake thatch. we paddled yesterday and today, but stayed in our creek as the potomac river and chesapeake were a bit on the choppy side with all the warm wind blowing in from the south. i watched a crow couple build a nest in a loblolly pine and wondered if their babies would be adorable or evil. i drank cocktails and watched the sunset.

spring has sprung...and i like it!

before the rain started, I spent a couple hours raking out my flower beds, doing a little weeding and prepping for mulch. the sedums are starting to froth and the crocus are up!

snow drops

now that the snow has finally receded, spring is emerging! snow drops are everywhere and trees and shrubs have begun budding out.

i couldnt be more thrilled!

winter is over!

winter is o-v-e-r, despite the fact that it is snowing lightly, the ground is frozen and we have had wind gusts over 50 mph today. the fact is, it is 33 degrees: above freezing, and that is this winter's last hooray: yeah! how do i know? i saw daffodils leaves arising from the soil under a tree where the snow has melted.
