Hello, Lover
Come on and set a spell
Well, March isn’t going out like a lamb – it’s going out like a fuzzy little kitten!
Here in Hooterville, it’s a glorious day. I have the doors open, the cats are nowhere to be seen, and the birds are singing like crazy. A peek at the thermometer reveals that it’s 65 degrees outside (or 18 degrees, depending on how you look at it). Not quite the record-breaking heat the Bay Area is experiencing, but I’ll take it.
It truly feels like spring.
It was nice enough this morning to have coffee outside in one of the yellow chairs you see above. As I slowly woke up amid chirping birds and capering cats, I thought about all the things I want to do in the garden this year.
As you can see, the tulips are getting close to blooming:
They are supposed to be purple and white and fringy, like a flapper’s dress, so I can’t wait to see them.
The orchids are a little ahead of the tulips (which I probably should have planted before New Year’s Day):
Here’s a close-up:
I’m not sure what kind they are, but they sure are pretty.
As if all that isn’t enough, today is Opening Day for baseball, and the world champion Giants start the season in LA this evening. Today is the real first day of spring!
