The other day I was thinking of this poem from 2014. Enjoy!
Second bloom on this hyacinth Grape Hyacinth Lilacs-to-Be Pussy Willow full blown Pussy Willow leaves!

Spring rains wind thunder fragrant hyacinths hillside purple with flowers demure trout lilies quickly go to seed. Forsythia blooms lilac buds opening pussy willow full blown soon to send out leaves Twisty willow branch from florist rooted in the arrangement and sent out one leaf! hope to nurture it and plant it outside February Primrose is pot bound now ready to live in the garden I’m pot bound in homemaker duties Lord help me enter Your center-down silence and glory in praising You even in activities of the mundane Oh fragrant April morning gusty hyacinth perfume raindrops glisten on garden border fence Symphony of bird song sidewalk littered with night crawlers Insistent bird cries, “Awake! Spring is here. Now." I praise You in the work You have given me in this part of Garden Earth.
Forsythia bursting with color Primrose with a tiny bit of frost damage
