Sampling of European countryside picture, forget where I found the image a while back. These are fairly removed. I think it might be the French countryside.

First day of Spring is next week and I cannot wait for warmer weather, flowers and springtime birds. This weekend a large plant nursery has their annual plant show - we usually go. It is surrealistic to see plantings where sunflowers, tulips, roses and hydrangeas are all in peak bloom simultaneously.

Back to the New Zealand Future.

My first daffodil today. Another will open tomorrow but I am weeks form the true push of Spring. Saint Patrick's Day parade is a week off. A great day in Manhattan, very happy celebration. Much less rowdy than ten years ago, though.

Frances beach sampled. It was sixty three degrees today and it felt like spring. Crocuses are out close to being in force.
