My little patio garden has daffodils! It’s about the only plant I have in the garden, so I am taking advantage of today’s Garden Blogger Bloom Day.

The forsythias are also out, and there are tons around my neighborhood. This one looked the best. Lots were overgrown, shered or otherwise neglected. I like forsythias–but they seem to be one of four plants that everyone has planted. (Roses, lawn, boxwood, and forsythias) There could be lots more plant diversity in my neighborhood.

Some of the fruit trees are also starting to bloom, along with tulips, and an Aubretia (that’s one of the flowers that the name came to me without me really realizing I knew it: I could be wrong).

I wore shorts today, and went hiking without snow. Spring is here, and what a joy after winter!
