Moving right along with the season

The flowers of anemone blanda are profuse this year, both wild and the slightly larger cultivated versions. We were happy to hear a rooster crowing this morning for the first time in a while. One orange nasturtium is bright beside the gate. Without being flaunting King Alfreds, Carlton daffodils provide a handsome yellow presence, now opening all over the yard. Nothing was stolen for a Valentine bouquet this year.
