Leucojum (summer snowflake)- some green lovely things for you today!<\/em><\/p>\n

We always called these flowers “snowdrops” when I was growing up, but I found out that these early spring bloomers are actually called summer snowflakes. Funny, since ours started blooming in early March this year. And last time I checked, March was not summer.<\/p>\n

We have been having unseasonably warm weather for the past week (it has hit 80 degrees several times!), causing all the flowering trees, daffodils, and crocuses to bloom. Apparently, we are a full two weeks ahead of schedule with blooming things. We have had all our windows open and it has actually reached 77 degrees in our downstairs during the day. Which is quite toasty, I think.<\/p>\n

But I am in no way complaining about this phenomenon. Beautiful weather makes me feel like a happy person all the time, flitting around gardening and getting my hands dirty and feeling the sunshine on my face and eating every meal outdoors and… oh, oh! I started running again! And all these things make me happier than a leprechaun in a field of clovers… or a pot of gold or something.<\/p>\n

So let’s hope this spring is here to stay. Happy day to you! And no, I’m apparently not Irish in any way, despite being led to believe so for the majority of my life. Happy St. Patrick’s Day (a day early) anyway!<\/p>\n
