These crocuses are not in my yard. They are on my kitchen counter. I am desperate for some spring color, so a recent trip to the grocery store left me clutching a little pot of crocuses and some cut tulips. And don't they just say "Spring" to you?

Well, certainly more than this short photo essay about Vala's experience in our backyard this weekend.
"Hmmmmmm, what's this?"

Could it be...tasty?"

"I believe it is!"

"Just...a little...more...."

And one more photo essay, for those of you wondering if Vala is indeed walking....



The answer would be "Oh, yes." You have to imagine her gleeful squealing as she runs toward me. Yes, "runs" is a more apt description at this point.
One final "Up Yours" to winter....

(and these are Canadian tulips, by the way. It's spring somewhere up here!)
