   Such beautiful photos!! I adore plum blossoms and wish we had some in our yard. The flowers would definitely help to put me in a Springtime mood.

     Yes – they feel more late winter spring harbingers than the real deal but the scent is so potent ..

   For real? This time of year? I’m in awe.

   It’s a drag, this shitty time. Hope this trip started a turnaround for you.

     It had better.

     My arm is very ( even exquisitely ) painful – to the extent that I can’t write as usual.

     Nevertheless, an account of last month is being typed and redacted, bit by bit..

     How are you ?

   These are getting ready to pop in southeastern Virginia as well and the witch hazel too!

   What a lovely, arresting first photo. Spring exists! Enjoy the scent of those blossoms and a relaxing break!

     It was actually a hideously stressful mad dash out of the house because of workmen in our house ( two hours away by almost empty train but I couldn’t come up with anywhere else to flee to).

     Very nice though.

   Spring, glorious Spring!
   Dawn’s promising skies
   Petals on a pool drifting
   Imagine these
   in one pair of eyes
   and this is my beloved!!!!
   Oh geez, I really am turning into my mom warbling a 1953 tune from Kismet in full soprano in front of my iMac. Thank you for the gorgeous pics! It has been an unseasonably warm here in Nepal – we usually have 1-2 light frosts in January but none so far. The neighbor’s plum tree has not bloomed yet and nor has the Chinese Tree of Heaven across the road. My turnips & radishes are bolting though.
   Hope all is well with you & yours!

     Not really – but relatively yes compared to the dire things going on.

     I only started eating turnips recently and am now obsessed. SO GOOD roasted
