Who Would Have Thought. . .

that one of the coldest winters on record followed by a dreary, overcast spring could have given us this abundant exuberant Memorial weekend: the lilacs are still in bloom, as are the lilies of the valley, likewise some  flowering trees; the bridal wreath have just begun, also the iris.

My early garden diligence was rewarded yesterday—fresh French breakfast radishes for breakfast, spinach, mustard and arugula for lunch and dinner.

The wonders spring are upon us. All at once! One hardly needs a critical eye to appreciate this.
