A Winter Walk


Song - Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head by B.J. Thomas



After a good rain storm and spending way too much time indoors, 
I took a little walk around my garden today.




The creek in our backyard was roaring.




The lettuce in the vegatable garden was happy.




The Alyssum growing on the rock walls surrounding the vegetable garden smelled wonderful 
and is bright and cheerful. 




The Narcissus are ready to open!





My wild Violets are a little bug eaten but blooming. 




  My Mother Ferns are unfurling and......







...growning baby ferns!!! 






The Camellia's are outdoing themselves this year! 





Even our woodpile is growing!  Maybe some Rainbow Bracket Fungus?




Buds on the Flowering Quince



 And the biggest shock is that my brown lawn (ugg!) has turned green (sigh!)





The Spring Snowflakes are budding






And I have several blooms on my Sea Foam Rose!


After my garden walk, Mika and I came indoors and lit the fire and curled up with a cup of tea.


"We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming.  We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are.  They are gifts from the universe that we cannot refuse.  But we can choose what we will contribute to life when each arrives."
 --Gary Zukav
