Camellias and crocus are blooming everywhere, but in my yard are daffodils, which to me means Spring is Here!

For two days I was able to stand outside to paint them in all their live glory. Now that the weather is back to late winter conditions, I’m inside doing touch ups.

Violets have such delicate faces which can missed unless you get your nose right up to them.

Most of the year, the violets are in bloom at the base of the daffodils. Thank you for planting them oh most wonderful landlord. They are a cheery site at the end of a long day.
