It's a Glorious Day!

I spent some time out in the yard, raking leaves away from beds where they were being used as compost/mulch against the winter winds. But most of the time I was outside I spent the time inventorying the flowers blooming. We have a beautiful little patch of white daffodils, very different from the two hunderd or so yellow ones--and the narcissi are yet to come. The quince is blooming and the hyacinths are in full show.

The Bradford pears are out and the redbuds are about to flower.

But to me, I love the pansies best.
