can't stop Spring now

started pulling leaves off my garden this weekend--half heartedly, to be sure, because I'm trying to save the leaves to use in composting once the new composter arrives in our lives. but under those leaves was a good bit of evidence that Spring will not be held back any longer (despite last weekend's snow and a week of high temps of 40 degrees).

Look what I found.


asiatic lilies
like the ghosts of two little flames

peonies
(i think maybe Sarah Bernhardts. . . antiques anyway, transplanted from the family farm)

magnolia bloom breaking out of its grey winter coat


crab apple leafing out
(middle of the five trees of fivetrees fame)
