I’m going to say something that every old person on the planet says on a regular basis: “They don’t make things like they used to!”

I was so happy with the good amount of rain we received on Saint Patrick’s Day.

It was so wonderfully warm and sunny on Tuesday that I saw a honeybee on my crocuses.

Last week’s warmer weather lit a fire under me, finally. Violet and I got out in the yard for some much-needed pruning and raking.

What a welcome change in the weather. Already green shoots of spring-flowering bulbs are poking through.

I love when it warms up after a couple of snowy days and the snow gives itself back up to the atmosphere. The foggy mist is a welcome calm.
