There are buds. Buds on things that share the herb garden. And there is actually supposed to be sunshine today as well.

That means Spring is here-despite the below freezing night temperatures. Robins have been spotted as well-which makes it all official.

You can see grass greening up which is beyond thrilling. I’ll enjoy it while I can, since I know perfectly well that our lovely Midwest has hellacious Spring storms that can bring tornadoes, ice and snow. Sometimes all at once.

Here is a dwarf Forsythia about to bloom as well.

Kind of brightens up the dull fields behind, don’t you think?
