What a Difference

"The secret, Alice, is to surround yourself with people who make your heart smile. It's then, only then, that you'll find Wonderland." Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

What a difference it makes to have my partner back home.  This afternoon we took a walk around Mackworth Island....it's always a bit of a wonderland.

It was a bit windy...but the views and grounds were beautiful as always.

So many spring greens and interesting textures.

 

I did some cleanup in my gardens this morning...and what a difference a little sun and warmth makes. So many things are up or just poking through. 

My bloodroot is about ready to bloom and I love the way the buds poke through the leaves before they unfurl. I just love watching spring emerge.
