Spring, St Patrick's Day and why I have mixed emotions

Spring is out in force.

It's been over a week since our first flowers opened.

Here's a few I shot today, March 17th.

Oops, that last one was for Bonzi, some of our catnip.

Oh, and my 2005 car broke down on the way to work today and had to be towed to the shop. Some electrical problem.

OH JOY! $$$
