Beautiful pictures of spring time flowers. Aaaaah, I needed that!
It's been unseasonably warm on my side of the mountain, but no daffodils are blooming yet, and no phlox either. Some flowering trees seem ready to pop, but the forecast calls for snow showers two days this week ... please say it ain't so!!!
I wish you all a beautiful Spring! More snow for Victoria (who really wants it) in the California mountains, more flowers for Helene to paint and photograph, a perfect English spring (none better) for jennyfreckles and Martin, and no untimely freezes for Pat (and me) here in these southern mountains.
Spring is finally here! What beautiful photos, Vicki. My flowers haven't opened yet, but the buds are formed and I'm eagerly awaiting them. Maybe today?!
Hallelujah indeed It is the same over here in England. We have a beautiful spring day with warmth and sunshine. I hear people outside cutting the grass. Incredible! I have a few crocuses but the birds want them. Blessings, Star

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.
There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

Can it really be? Have we seen the back of the chill at last?

I believe all the critters are ready, Jean! It's been a long cold winter and they are loving the sun.
In fact, it looks like all of us are ready for some spring sun (except Victoria who needs more snow for moisture!)
Your flowers are already wide open !
Thanks for having given me the English title:"Puss in Boots"
Lovely! I want flowers here too this year.
Can hardly take so much beauty..the flowers and Haiku born for each other!
Just beautiful – flowers are back with us. Your pictures are lovely – it makes my heart sing.
