This is a holiday, and though it’s decidedly low key, I’m taking the day off from thinking, so I’m posting a few pictures documenting the ever approaching (but perhaps never arising) dawn of real Spring. You know, with reasonably warm weather, birds, flowers and sunshine. Here along the coast we suffer through many years when Spring is merely a damp, cloudy interlude between the cold of Winter and the heat of Summer, but hope springs eternal.
There’s no action in the vegetable garden this week, but there are some flowers blooming. This is a humble vinca:
This Hellebore is blooming near the house, which accounts for the less than satisfactory backgrounds:
The daffodils are beginning to bloom:
And finally, though this is cheating, a few shots of a yellow Clivia Miniata, the yellow color being rather unusual, according to my wife. This is cheating because it’s an indoor plant, but I posed it outside.
No lilies, as my wife isn’t a fan.
