Spring is coming!!!

Today has been insane--it has rained, snowed, hailed, sunned, and about blown the roof off. When the sun comes out, the steam from the road rises, swirls, and blows. Then the next squall comes thru, and we have all sorts of weather.

I have a lovely Lady's Mantle by my front porch. It started producing new, lovely leaves in February, when we had a warm spell. They, of course, were frozen as the cold returned in February, March, and April! Now, here they come again, pushing their velvet leaves towards to sun, catching the rain and snow as it comes down, and promising a beautiful, full plant to come.
