yippee--I am getting raffle ready Smiling and I see not-raffles lined up for the summer!

It has been a freaky-fantastic spring bulb week for me--after all my earlier whining, we had a strangely mild and dry winter in the west and an early spring. Perfect timing for photo ops. Everything is blooming (or blasting Sad ) at once, pretty much--or in short succession--and not lasting very long with the luscious warm weather we just had. And I took some time off work this week to get my spring project done Hilarious! that sure didn't pan out like I planned Thumbs down but I did run around taking lots of pictures and gathering acorns--ha-ha. Probably wouldn't have happened quite like that without a spring bulb week to spur me on Hurray!

My photobombing buddy had a blast, too

I love that photo of the photo bombing kitty.

@MikeBrown, does that daffodil always have multiply blooms on a stem, like your wonderful photo.

Julia, my Erythronium oregonum is making a nice display under the apple tree right now. Love photo.
