Lookee Lookee Lookee!

We had some serious melting here yesterday with a full eight hours of steady rain. In fact, a friend who lives just up the hill (with an emphasis on UP) stopped here last night so we could carpool to an event and was amazed at all the bare ground in my yard.

But that's the springtime benefit to facing the southwest.

I was just outside to stroll around the yard, watching the plant life wake up when I spotted these crocuses up and stretching toward the sun.

Aaaah, that did my heart good.
