Signs of spring

After a couple of rain-soaked weeks, we are seeing some glimpses of spring this weekend. This morning we woke up to clear blue skies and afternoon temps in the 60s, and tomorrow and Monday it is supposed to reach 70 degrees. Woo hoo!

However, being that this is now our third year going through the seasons here, we will not be fooled. In fact, we now know all too well that this period from April through June marks the toughest time of the year here. That's because while everyone else is, for the most part, enjoying the glory of spring/beginning of summer and warmer weather, we will undoubtedly continue to experience our fair share of rain and cool temperatures. In fact, we'll be back to the 50s by Tuesday. Sigh.

In the meantime, all the flowers are in full bloom - including the tulips, which I just love and always like to have around the house this time of year. Here are some pretty ones on our dining table:

Until I write again.
