"Why are you disturbing my slumber? What's all this nonsense about SPRING?"...........

Well, Winston, Spring is when the whole world awakes from its winter slumber.........

And blossoms and flowers herald the new season......

And even goddesses like, Diana (and her hound), feel the excitement of a fresh start........

HOME SWEET SPRING HOME...................

Cheerful little daffodils......................

The ancient apricots bloom once more....................

The limpid skies of winter are replaced by the fresh blue of spring................

And each bush, tree, and tuber celebrates life anew................

Cielo Aul runneth over with the blossoms of the season...............

These photos were taken on this very date last year--because of the mix of warm and cold spells this spring, the blossoms in our yard will be later this year.................

But they will no doubt make their appearance--sooner or later. So like the goddess of old--Let us rejoice!--IT'S SPRING!!
