Is It Spring Yet?
Yep. Spring "officially" started today. How do I know?
Is it when the bridal wreath bush and the daffodils bloom?
Nope. Is it when the muscari blooms?
Nada. Is it when tulips pierce through the dead leaves that I never raked out of the flowerbed?
Negatory. But you've got to admit those are durned determined tulips. Take another look:
Is that cool, or what? Cool, yes. But the herald of spring? No. Does spring begin when the tulips bloom?
That's not it either. Maybe when the first blooms appear on the lunaria?
Wrong! Spring officially begins around here when Emma goes from a shaggy, debris-laden, multi-matted pooch . . .

Those flowers are beautiful! We've had so much rain, I'm surprised we're not cultivating a tropical forest.
Love your sign of spring! Mine is when the red-winged blackbirds come out, and when I see the first groundhogs!
Emma does look like she is ready for warmer weather - and she looks quite happy with her new look.
The flowers are lovely. Such a welcome sight after the cold winter.
That's the same dog?

Hard to believe it's the same dog, isn't it? The first time I picked Emma up after she was sheared, I didn't recognize her.
She's the only dog I know who has no waistline whatsoever.
