Oh dear!

It is a very old tradition that has, sadly, fallen out of fashion. But, nothing says we can’t revive it! ~W

They are some of my favorites. Every year, I mean to post about my stint in stealing lilacs. But I never do. I should do that, eh? ~W

You know, there was a sign in the midst of all those tulips. I don’t recall exactly, but it says who maintains the corner. I’m drawing a blank. Hmm… ~W

The photos didn’t do this justice—it really is a lovely corner. I aspire to having a corner like that. ~W

This is one of my favorite plantings in town. It gets better and better each year. I adore purple tulips too and IZ got me bunches and bunches for May Day. ~W

Maddie and Betsy delivered hand-woven construction paper baskets brimming with wild flowers to our dear, old neighbors this morning. We did not participate in any Seattle May Day protests. Maybe next year…or not. Miss you! xoxo

Oh! That’s terrific and very, very sweet. I miss you too! I hope all is well in your part of the NW. ~W

Every morning I stand at the bottom of my trees- just barely beginning to bud- and I say “C’mon, Spring- you can do it! C’mon, Spring! C’mon! Please? ”

It’s AMAZING… I’ll be in Nashville in 12 days and I suspect that might be my first real taste of Spring. It just doesn’t feel like it’s coming to the coast this year. ~W
