It still feels a little wintery, but after two gloriously warm days at the end of last week, things exploded into bloom. I refreshed this daffodil and forsythia display for a couple weeks and it made me happy.

And then there was this grape hyacinth bud, until something ate it.

A lot of the seeds Emma and I planted have come up in their mini-greenhouses (below, gypsophila).

But earlier this week we had so much rain so fast that some seeped into our basement via the crawlspace, a first since we have lived here. This shows how the backyard floods (even in much lesser rains); I took these photos to share with landscape architects we are evaluating to redo our backyard.

The daffodils I planted last fall in the front have come up nicely, but they all seem to point downward. So avoid this type in future: Narcissus 'Carlton.'
