This has been the best spring on record since we've been in this house. Never have I had this many tulips (which I planted 5 1/2 years ago). Never have they made it through the spring without the bunnies eating off their tops or the frost stunting their growth. This has been a nice slow progression into spring and everything promises to give a full bloom (barring a late hard frost which we may be able to avoid). My front crab apple just might open today! This week I hope to plant carrots and radishes, maybe some lettuce if I have any seeds left from last year. We'll wait for the rest after mother's day.
Fair are the meadows,
fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
--from Fairest Lord Jesus, translated from German to English 1873

It is a beautiful, and particularly colorful spring.
