The spring’s exploding, happening real quick while daffodil blooms shrivel up to show fast swelling seedpods, life’s arithmetic. Some flowers slink away. Beds overflow.

A baby bunny jumps out from behind that pile of last years golden leaves. It shakes. The sun shines bright. It doesn’t seem to mind and quite a difference a warm week makes.

Flamboyant tulips squeal in pure delight. Fern fronds spin open, fill the garden floor. Thing’s grow so fast I follow but not quite. Not time to pay attention anymore.

Been waiting while this season kind of took. I know it won’t last long, Let’s take a look.
