spring is coming!

One of the first signs of spring are the pussy willows.

Pretend the closeup of this pussy willow is focused on the fuzzy bud, not on everything else in the picture!

The poplars are also starting to bud.

Again, pretend the bud is in focus. . .

Yes spring is almost here. . .

I can once again hang my bedding on the line. I just love the smell of sheets and blankets hung on the line!

Of course these pictures were taken last week.

Before we got 10 cm of snow.

But it's starting to melt again.

And no, I did not hear anything about more snow overnight!

Spring is coming. . .

Soon.
