good morning, glory! I saw two signs of spring yesterday. First, my neighbor’s freesia started blooming.
Every year I tell myself, “Self, remember to plant freesia in time to have them for spring,” and annually I forget.

Gosh, they smell so good. I wish there was a way to send scratch and sniff to you through the computer, because there’s nothing in the world like fresh freesia.
The second sign was the state of my favorite tree in the neighborhood (everyone must have a favorite tree). It’s a cherry blossom tree, and it’s just on the cusp of full-on blooming. It’ll be covered in white flowers within a week.
Unfortunately, my allergies will probably also be a hot mess starting very soon, but I don’t care. spring is here!
