The daffodils are ready to bloom.

Ματαιοδοξία ματαιοδοξιών! Όλα είναι ματαιοδοξία.
Yep! The crocus is the first thing that pops up around here in PA but already several species of tree on my property are starting to bud nicely.

In the Puget Sound area every year about this time we get a respite from the rain. I used to have a business and our entire south wall had daffodils planted along it. They would start to bloom, the nice weather would come out, and they would be quickly cooked. Of course the plants evolved to grow quickly in the spring when their competitors were still dormant. Within a period of six weeks they would grow, and bloom and go dormant again for another year. Soon it will be rainy here until mid to late June again. Spring is more of a feeling than a season here.
Tiger lilies are just starting to poke out of the ground...

It's too early yet here because it is still cold...
I do not look forward to warmer weather of spring, my least favorite season, although by the time June comes I settle in.

You just blew your cover neighbor, Olympia here.
I do not like spring as a season... the last of my vacation, income taxes, property taxes on three homes.
I like the rainy and cloudy weather, not the sun.... it rained and hailed here today, it was cool.

Still a bit to cold weather for the flowers to start growing here in Norway, So the sign for me that spring is here is that there is less days that is really cold
And that it rains intead of snowing.April will be the month we say spring is here, that is when the leaf comes out on trees, and the flowers start peeking up from the ground.

I have told people before where I lived. And though Oregon seems to want to take the credit now, my town was the first city to have a person in the hospital with Covid-19 in the US. At least that was what was thought then. So now you know where I live to an even closer degree;You just blew your cover neighbor, Olympia here.

A brief spate of hail up to the north too.

For me the "magic" of this world is to notice when plants, flowers, gras start to grow and to see their "journey" toward full bloom, to see how they reach for the sun and that the sun gives new life each year.Same here, about the same latitude.
Now when i live alone in the countryside i will spend time in the forest just sitting on a rock or a old fallen tree and watch nature do its thing

I used to drive up to see a doctor in Edmonds back in the 1990s but never drive on I-5 anymore because I do not want to flirt with death. I did drive up to Kent last fall to pick up a Persian cat but I took the back roads through Enumclaw.
Our vacation house where that non-paying tenant lives is in Moclips, if you know where that is.

That might also be true for me if I did not have a property that is completely overgrown and growing more every year. It's downright scary. If God does not rescue me I am going to be in big trouble.

Maybe it is God saying "time to scale down on your property" ?That might also be true for me if I did not have a property that is completely overgrown and growing more every year. It's downright scary. If God does not rescue me I am going to be in big trouble.

I have no idea but I am stuck here for now, because my work, the animals, and my husband.
I could hire a landscaper if I wanted to, but I cannot get motivated.

Rains (and flooding) ceased a month ago, mornings are still hovering around freezing but the sky is generally blue and by early afternoon we recently hit the low 20s and today is forecast 24c (a touch over 75f). The too short blossom season is over and forests are greening. Our grape vines and fig tree are beginning to bud.
Over the last couple of weeks the incidence of being stuck behind a tourist in a camper van while driving into town has increased
