So much spring happening now...

...& so much gardening to do this evening.

These are not complaints. But I'm feeling a little overwhelmed as I want to see and do it all.  And share the best with you.

For now, some cherry blossoms and blue sky from the weekend:

 

Sidewalks of my neighbourhood...

...their spring-time borders...

 ...and canopies...

...reasons to look forward to after-work walks with my Westie, especially in the sunshine but even in the grey and drizzle.

Prunus x subhirtella 'Autumnalis Rosea'

Stanley Park. Lost Lagoon. 'Autumnalis Rosea' cherry blossoms.

Triple delight. Part of my Sunday rust removal strategy.

Rest stop #6 on last Wednesday evening's walk

To paraphrase e.e. cummings,

The world is green-luscious & blossom-wonderful.

They aren't finished yet...

these not-as-fragile-as-they-look cherry blossoms:

 'Shirofugen'

I was certain the weekend hail storm would have turned them to brown-tinged, pink mush. Thankfully, not.

Sigh. {The longing, wistful kind.} If only I could weather the storms of life so gracefully :-).
