We had lovely warm sunshiney weather here last week. Now it's been rain for days. It's rather gloomy herebouts and I feel like I can't quite get enough light to really focus on anything. We had plans to be camping this entire week at a place down in Virginia, in the Blue Ridge Mountains, but something came up and we're here at home.On a brighter note (cause there always are some! grumble) someone told me about Market Spice tea and it's stunning. Just what I needed today ~ oranges & spice. And an open wood fireplace and hand-knitted wool socks and another couple of dogs would be nice.
On a walk a few days ago, I just about tripped when I looked up and saw a male cardinal in a vibrantly pink flowering tree. I've never seen a redder bird. I literally couldn't look away and, when he flew off, I found my legs walking on again.
This spring is knocking my socks off.

What a pretty quilt! I had a similar experience riding my bike on Friday. No cardinals, but I saw three little birds flitting about, fluttering between two cherry blossom trees. And I thought, "Ahh, spring!"
I know! I can't believe these trees. :)
