I took advantage of the sun shining today, and cleaned off the porches.
How welcoming the warm air felt, renewing one's spirit.
Neighbors walked their dogs, birds fluttered back and forth busily fluffing their nests.
I hummed along to the wonderful Irish music of Colm Mac Con Iomaire.
I've always enjoyed the look of moss-covered clay pots. I usually coat new ones with a mixture of buttermilk or yogurt and moss pieces to help get the process started.
Mother Nature has done her part in helping me it seems.
Perennials are popping up everywhere
The Vinca is blooming despite frost-laden nights.
Spring is in the air !
Oliver snoozed
An altered look about the hills;
A Tyrian light the village fills;
A wider sunrise in the dawn;
A deeper twilight on the lawn;
A print of a vermilion foot;
A purple finger on the slope;
A flippant fly upon the pane;
A spider at his trade again;
An added strut in chanticleer;
A flower expected everywhere ..."

Your post has given me a touch of spring fever--I can't believe your Vinca is blooming, we've got just sprouts, and I'm okay with that--At least I have to be! :-)
Another amazingly beautiful post . . . your blog is awesome :)
Your loyal follower, Connie :)
What a beautiful colour that Vinca is!
preparing for spring time ...
What an adorable picture of Oliver!
6 degrees here tonight. Boo.
Ah looks so Springy there, still beneath the snow in our woods.
Seeing this I can hardly wait for Spring. So wonderful and I love the poem !!
Hugs from The Netherlands.
When I read your post I feel spring is in the air, but not here. It seems that cold and snow never end this year. Oliver looks adorable enjoying the sun and I love this poem of Emily Dickinson.
That picture of Oliver is priceless. And I love that poem, too. Yes, spring is coming, I can feel it! :-)
Oliver is adorable!
This post made me feel good Jo, loved the photos, especially the one of Oliver.
Last weeks weather was a welcome respite from all the rain and coldness. I too, went poking in the garden and squealed in delight whenever I spied a perennial poking it's adorable little self up thru the earth! I love your outdoor sink!
