Wow. Three full months down! I can hardly believe it.  Day One of Month Four on deck.

The backyard is starting to spring to life . . .

My peony, a gift for my wedding shower in 2002, has never failed to provide spectacular blooms. I’m always happy to see these quick-growing shoots make their appearance.

My favorite flowers, though, are roses. We’ve got about five bushes in our backyard. I can’t wait for their sweet-smelling blooms!

The lilac bushes are all springing to life as well.
