It's the ides of February
Clear skies give us lovely sunrises. And by this time of the year, the sun is above the horizon by the time I get to work.
The skies are clear and the trees are swelling with sap.
Shadows are assuming such artistic poses.
and the fragrant box bushes are blooming ike an air=borne blessing.
After seeing your photo (2nd from the top), I ventured out to check my sweet box, just outside the back step. Yes, its blooming - smells so good! How's your daphne coming? My camellia (japonica) which is usually blooming by now is just showing color.
You scared me. I thought I had lost a week. The ides is either the 15th or the 13th, depending on the month. But I share with you the joy of the sneak peek of spring. :)
Beautiful photos, Roxie. I woke up the other morning at 7:30, saw that it was light out, and double-checked the clock. Sometimes spring sneaks up on you.
Aren't blue skies wonderful after all the snow and rain? Get out and cut back the roses! It's that time!

ReplyDeleteIt looks like the beginning of spring (at least in your part of the country). More flower porn to look forward too :-)
ReplyDeleteLucky you-- spring! (We're in sort of a perpetual 70 degree May... #$%^$ drought...)
