blossom time

The magnolia tree in the back yard is looking positivly shaggy with white and pink petals. It's gone cool and gray today, so the photos aren't all that striking but the tree really is.

As Alwen said, it's still too cool to be down on my elbows in the violets, but the violets are ready any time we are.

The first of the dandelions are in bloom. It's too bad people don't love dandelions more. They're easy to grow, edible, cheery and self-seeding.What's not to love?

Knitting here on Saturday. Lemon cake, curried turkey sandwiches, some kind of cookie with chocolate and some kind of fruit. And tea of course. Am I forgetting anything?
