It’s amazing how much things can change in just a week. The crabapple trees have been threatening to bloom for weeks now. I first noticed their bud swellings on Valentine’s day. The grass has turned an impossible shade of bright green. The forsythia and redbuds are blooming. Lilacs won’t be far behind.
It stormed early this morning, so everything was super wet when I got up. There is a giant patch of violets at the back end of the field, but most of them were still asleep. As I was bending down to look at the flowers, I heard a large bee buzzing overhead.
