Not sure what to title this

I came home from work today, put my bike in the back, walked to the front since I don't have a back door lock yet, and this caught my eye:

Right in the middle of the front lawn! I had not seen/noticed it before, and there it was in full bloom. So wonderful.

And then, the tree to the side of my house is starting to pop. I tried to take a good photo, but here's the blurred result.


Spring is coming, so what do I do? I am leaving tomorrow to go skiing in Colorado. Sigh. Where it's 70 degrees in Denver. Sigh. I am hoping hoping I can get some halfway decent skiing in. But it is / will be better than nothing, which is what it would be otherwise. Next year no way am I waiting this long in the year...

So, I'll be back Tuesday. Don't ransack the place. I might be able to check in, might not. Staying with a friend, but also will be tired I'm sure. Oh, that's why I was researching altitude remedies, btw. Last time I went to CO I barfed the whole time. Don't want a repeat.

Have a great time. Sometimes it's just good to get away and get some perspective - whether you can ski or not.

Susan, you ransacked your own place!
Mel, thanks!
Churlita, yep.
Monty, actually, there was some ice...on the slopes because of the spring skiing, but it was ok...
Hi HS - thanks for visiting! And now more have popped up.
Laura, I did fall, but didn't get hurt.
Tara - yes...so do I. I need to plant more. Oh, and see if the tulips lived.
T-I'll post more just for you.
