First Day of Spring

The vernal equinox! The sun has returned to the center of the eastern horizon . . .
The willow is erupting in fountains of greeny-yellow . . .
Willa is harassing chipmunks and reveling in her freedom  . . . 
her tail wags constantly . . .
 
A pretty little woodpecker -Downy or Spotted, I'm not sure -- is visiting . . .
The cows have been turned into the mountain pasture to enjoy fresh new grass . . .
And the forsythia, oh, the forsythia! A celebration of yellow!
