Yesterday was the first day of Spring and boy, oh boy! does that make me do a happy dance. I took my camera outside this morning and captured a few glimpses of Spring especially for my readers who are still mired in last vestiges of winter. I hope these pictures bring a smile to your face and put hope in your heart.
Hyacinth growing wild – at least I think that’s what it is.
My chickens enjoying the weeds I picked for them.
Pregnant kitty
Last of the blossoms on a pear tree
Kitties and irises
Faded daffodils and soon-to-be tiger lilies
Blooming dogwood tree
The first of the wisteria blooms
Saving the best for last:
All together now – aww!
Marigny had 5 kittens a few days ago.

Love the kittens! They are adorable!
Yeah, those baby kittens are so sweet!
The purple flowers in the beginning are usually called grape hyacinth, but they're muscari (I used to grow some in a old basket indoors.) They don't have the same heavenly scent of hyacinth, and in fact and unrelated. They're a close relation to lilies if I remember correctly.
Kalee: Thanks for the info about the flowers. Muscari. I wonder if I will remember that? 😉
