The grass has grown two inches in five days. Dandelions have taken over. Allium are three-feet high and getting ready to burst open, when last week they looked like just-another-daffodil-bud (not that there's anything "just-another" about the beautiful daffodils--the little creamy-white ones, especially, are beautiful).
The wild roses are coated bright green: the wetlands trees are budding red; the lilac carries tightly-folded fingertips of leaves... and the reeds are spearing their way through the earth.
Bumble-bees, wasps, yellow-jackets and (no, please no, not yet) a baby mosquito and a maybe-a-tick-yuck. Gnat-type flies and one big bluebottle.
Yes, it's warm, it's humming with sunshine, and summer is a-budding.
