On March 29, after deadheading daffodils until my sciatica screamed STOP!!, I hiked through the woods (my sciatica loves when I walk... does not like bending down and straightening up.) The first wildflowers are blooming, carpeting the forest floor. I took a zillion photos. Well, of more than wildflowers...

That was Tuesday, March 29. Today, Saturday, April 2nd, I walked through the woods again and took more photos. That story on another blog post. It's spring!
