Springy

The rain has finally stopped, the wisteria is in bloom.

The apple tree is in bloom.

And the bees are happy.

I am so thrilled to see honeybees after many years of only Carpenter bees.

All of the honey bees in this area died off several years ago. But now they're back!!!

The smell is incredible. Roses, apple blossoms, wisteria, citrus, and numerous flowering hedges. I open the window and it all comes wafting in.

I love springtime in wine country.

A peek in my backyard

First of all, thank you for all of your great comments! I guess I wasn't the only one who needed a little "umph" to get through Monday! :) And, btw, I think I am going to add Haloscan to my blog so I can actually respond to everyone! Stand by.... Has anyone had any bad experiences with Haloscan commenting? How about when you installed it? Did you lose any previous comments?

And now for the little peek. :) We have wisteria:

the smell is intoxicating!

and apple blossoms:


and cascades of little yellow roses.


:happysigh: I love spring. :)

To Sereknitty: the shoes are Keens, my favorites!!! (Although I think that style is no longer).
