What a lovely day!

I went for the usual 1.5 mile morning walk with Chee Sy (my chiweenie) and caught the special smell of ligustrum. Roses, hyacinths, crepe myrtle, and grass, lots of grass brought tears to my eyes (allergies). It's closing in on mid May and we are 8-10 inches over our usual rainfall. We have been setting records for new low temperatures daytime and nighttime for months. The plants are responding by growing fast and big. It's worth a few sneezes to be able to enjoy nature's springtime show this year. Cue the credits: sun, rain, soil, my lawn care guy (John) etc.
