first flowers of spring

Spring has finally arrived in my little corner of the world. I'm out in the garden every morning to see what's coming up ... it seems like the flowers grow overnight! These little blue scillas are the first flowers to bloom and they are spreading everywhere. It's such a pretty sight to see all this blue.

 Of course I couldn't resist picking just a few to take inside. The look like tiny stars!

What's blooming in your garden?

a touch of spring

A touch of spring in my dining room ... a pitcher filled with pussy willows.
