I love this time of year, and today was absolute perfection. Warm and sunny. But the pollen is evil. I’m tired of sneezing.

Sassafras
I love when the sassafras trees start leafing out.
It’s Shedding Season
Thomas is blowing coat, y’all. It’s hilarious, since he barely has any hair to speak of. But he has just enough Australian Cattle Dog in him that he has a tiny patch of undercoat right above the base of his tail. And that’s it. That’s the totality of his annual coat blow.
Baby Buck
Thomas would like everyone to know that our neighborhood buck was eating his grass. How very dare!
But look how green it is. I love this time of year.
Redbud at Dark O’clock
The redbud tree by the library loading dock is redbudding.
Spring!
I just got back from walking the dog. It’s 80F and stuff is blooming and growing everywhere. Unfortunately that includes invasive Bradford pears and Japanese honeysuckle. Thomas doesn’t care.
Tiny Moon, Blue Sky
It’s a beautiful day. The grass is greening, the birds are busy doing very important bird things, and the dandelions and violets are blooming.
Surprise!
It isn’t even March yet, and the surprise lilies are well and truly up.
Spring Has Been Cancelled
2015
2018
This is the same tree, same day, three years apart. I don’t think we are ever going to get a Spring this year.
Time to Build an Ark
I mentioned that it’s been raining and raining and raining? This is what the falls near the covered bridge normally looks like.
