Spring has just displaced autumn. I'm shocked too. Everything is bursting into either bloom or tiny bright new leaves.
I have a cherry tree flowering enthusiastically over my deck, scarlet camellias by the kitchen, and daffodils and lunaria (moneyplant) coming up everywhere. I am discovering what things are when they bloom; there were a bunch of unidentifiable plants already in the yard. I planted some tulips and crocuses and forgot about them, and they're coming up. All the saplings I planted in winter have buds or little leaves or flowers; my plum blossom has ended, and pear blossom has begun.
It's absolutely magical. The insects have returned, and I'm finding earthworms when I dig. I have spotted robins, chickadees, Stellar's jays, and ringneck pigeons. If it was up to me, I'd spend all day in the garden.
