This shot was taken a year ago in our old house. As always, in spring I was desperately looking for green things that were blooming and found particular delight in this little clover plant. I feel a little nostalgic while looking at this image. Our house had many beautiful elements to it and this front entryway was one of my favorite spots when the sun began to shine through its windows.
More than anything indoors, I’ll miss watching for the first daffodils that begin to bloom—we’d report on their progress daily. And I’ll miss the first buds of the red bud tree as they announce spring’s arrival. It’s time for others to enjoy those things, and it’s time for me to look and see what’s happening in our new yard. I can’t wait for the sun to start warming up the world again!

I like how you look forward to the daffodils. We have tulips coming up and I yell at them daily, “You idiots! It’s still winter! You’re going to FREEZE TO DEATH! Get back in the ground until there’s some sunshine.” I have been yelling at spring bulbs for about 10 years and they prove me wrong every time.

I too am going to miss the springtime blooming of the old house. The old yard was so much fun for the whole spring and at least half of the summer.
