I love watching the foliage emerge on our small trees, like this Acer tschonoskii aka Korean butterfly maple.
I was clipping a few crossing branches and decided to bring them indoors to enjoy, along with my first daffodil of the season.
A simple celebration of spring.
But nothing ever seems to bring a smile to this guy's face.
Simple and lovely.

Ah, first daffodil - ours are almost done for the year, it would be nice to go through daffodil season again!

CECI — We're having a week of slightly cooler weather after rain, so it should be lovely for the flowers.

BARBARA — Mark said it may be one of his favorite arrangements ever.

Grumpy despite a beautiful spring arrangement, some people! It really is quite lovely.

The Acer blooms are charming and a perfect complement to the daffodil (or vice versa). Sadly, my own daffodils are already mostly gone, taken our my an early stretch of excessively warm weather.

So pretty. I love the daffodil.

Some people are never happy, but at least you and Mark are. Just read the peony post, and I think you have more buds than me. Different varieties though. I will hope that it doesn't get as cold for you as they are predicting and/or that your coverings do the trick! Jim's parents were just here (they are fully vaccinated, and we are halfway) and I think getting home to Verona was kind of a letdown after seeing all of our blooms, though they did have plenty of daffs to greet them.
