New Growth...spring has sprung

There are little buds opening and appearing everywhere...I live across the bridges from Seattle and it seems a bit warmer on the other side as I saw way more flowers and blooms on trees over there yesterday!  Here we seem a bit chillier and our blooms not as far along.   But they are beginning to come out...the daffs and tete a tete daffs and our yard is beginning to perk up...meaning there is a LOT of yard and garden work calling to us.    The rains are back after a reprieve yesterday.  I've turned on music to block out the rump and other continuous worrisome news. A mental reprieve!
