The weather has been so strange around here. Last weekend it was 80F (glorious!), then 50 F, and finally snow on Monday. This morning we had sleet showers. Our poor confused garden! And the bunny that lives under our porch seems grumpy about it too. Understandably!
Beautiful signs of Spring are everywhere on my morning walk around the neighborhood. What a strange contrast to the snow and hail we’ve had …
The Baha’i Temple is not far from my home, and it is a beautiful place! The size and scale can be a little overwhelming when you get up close.

Loving the latest blooms from our Spring garden. <3
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!
