After a long winter and a spring that has come and gone back to winter in fits and starts, the flowers are finally having the last word. Even last year's grocery store tulips are making a showing for themselves.
Then there are the pansies that faced near-freezing tempertures a few nights last week. Here they are doing what comes naturally.
Our back, the myrtle made its way through a heavy coat of winter debris.
On Mother's Day, this hibiscus from my sister promised summer with no looking back! Amen.
