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:


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

That blossom is just gorgeous. Here's to a lovely refreshing spring!

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. :)
