Loving the latest blooms from our Spring garden. <3
Signs of Spring
We’re seeing the first signs of Spring in the garden. I love seeing the snowdrops come up, and the first daffodils, too. We’ll be seeing more varieties of daffodils and the tulips soon, too - I can’t wait! Not sure what these are ... we’ll know soon!
So much snow …

Lilies
I think playing Animal Crossing has given me a new appreciation for lilies! They have all just burst into bloom around the neighborhood, and I just love the variety of color when I'm out for my morning walks.
Love in the neighborhood
I enjoy stumbling upon these little painted rocks when I'm out for a walk in the neighborhood!
