Happy Easter, Happy Spring (I hope!)

I'm away for a couple of days (and still recovering from last week's marathon) but wanted to post this picture of the "Easter garden" - a sign of hope for us up here in the north. I'm in the country right now, where the willows are golden and the red maples full of fat buds. I fell asleep last night listening to spring peepers in a nearby pond, which is a sure sign that nature is proceeding according to plan, even if there were snowflakes in the air a few days ago.

Back soon...
