After a cold winter of snow, frost and icy temperatures spring is finally on its way – officially the 28th of March here in the United States. The daffodils I planted when we first moved in are flowering abundantly as are the pansies and sweet Williams, its cherry blossom and magnolia time, the Robins and Cardinals are nesting, the Hummingbirds likewise, the sky is a beautiful blue, the days warm and longer due to daylight savings and all seems quite right with the world just outside my door.
