And as soon as they bloom, they form carpets of petals on the ground. One rainstorm and the magnolia is bare, the cherry blossoms create a path for winter weary feet. Daffodils droop and iris bleed, but they will be replaced by the flowers of summer - roses and lavender, hollyhocks and cosmos.
Though never really gone, the robins and chipmunks hop along doing their spring business. Nests are built and worms are eaten. The animals return to their business as they join us in awakening from their winter slumber.
Welcome spring.

Hooray for spring! We spend a lot of time outside now with Pie marveling at all the new and wonderful sights. She runs around pointing and asking "whatzzat?" faster than I can answer!
