Finally Signs of Spring ~ April 6 - 11, 2015

It's been a long time coming. Winter wasn't as bad as last year but this spring has been cold. Finally we got a little break and the crocus responded.

Smokey, as per usual, likes to walk into the picture :-)

And fat cat Ali was enjoying a little sun.

But the crocus ruled the day.

A few days later, a constant rain & slowly increasing temperatures caused a deep fog.

It also afforded some nice photo opportunities.

And today we hit 60 degrees on a very sunny day. The birds can now be heard singing constantly and this titmouse stopped by for a quick bath.

More flowers are joining or priming to become part of the panoply of spring.

And we're all happy about that, even if you're on the outside looking in.
