Cool and damp today, the weather feels like true spring after the run of early summer days with which we began the week. I have had a type of quiet morning that I really enjoy: puttering around the house by myself, straightening and setting things right as I go, doing some light chores, folding a basket of laundry, refilling the bird feeder... And now I am about to go have a type of afternoon that I don't enjoy: working my way through the pile of grading that must get done before spring break. But before I consign myself to that fate, a couple of photos:

Camellia in bloom
An incredibly mild winter and an early spring mean that my camellia is in bloom about three weeks earlier than it was last year.

Camellia on the windowsill--first cut flower of the year.
Of course I could not resist bringing a blossom inside. I love having flowers in the house and this is the first one this year.

I know! We had hardly any winter at all this year, so I didn't think I'd be as excited by spring. But I am! There's just something so special about those first flowers and green leaves.

Thanks! This spring is so crazy-early that it's a little weird, but I can't help feeling happy as I watch it arrive.

Waxy leaves :) Our camellia is full of buds thanks to all the rain we had this Summer. I am hoping it will bloom soon and then we can both have flowers before the seasons cross over and we do different things again! :)

That would be nice! You'll have to take pictures if it happens. :)
