Although we’re bracing for a couple of days of snow this week, the old snow is MELTING! Hooray!
This is my rock garden as it emerges from its winter blanket.

Yay for melting snow!! Spring has made it to the west coast in full force — tree buds bursting, lots of blossoms happening. Yes we have gardens but we live rurally so they’re pretty ‘rustic’ most of the time… ferns and salal abound.
