Today is "Pure Heaven"...it's like getting a little taste of Spring right in the middle of Winter....the picture is the Quince out in the yard ...starting to get all it's wonderful bright red flowers! Yesterday it broke a record!!! it was 72 degrees. I worked outside most of the day...raking...clipping...and just soaking up some of the glorious sunshine. The birds were having a concert in the front yard..singing...and chirping...and dancing...in fact they are "screaming" at one another right now! Toby and Shaquille are basking in the sun on the back porch..and I'm getting ready to go for a walk..the picture above is the view from my studio window yesterday afternoon...cherry tree is in the foreground...and the daffodils are blooming!
