01/12/12 Rain and Flowers.


        1/12/12 Rain and Flowers


 
Yesterday was a gloomy day. I am not big on gloomy and winter in the same sentence but we got shy of ¾ inch of rain out of it and I like that.




Flowers now in bloom: pansies, Johnny Jump-Up (the pansies wilder and smaller ancestor) , the first buds on anemones and one of my favorite Spring harbinger: flowering quince, a small bush with beautiful flowers and some mean straight thorns to protect them.
 




 I know, this year makes it tough being a Spring harbinger when we haven't even had Winter yet.

 For those who miss a real  Winter, think Cordova, AK with 15 feet of snow. Can't see the pansies from there!
