There's a fire in the woodburning stove and it's cold and rainy outside tonight, but this is just a last-ditch effort from Winter. I captured proof last week that Spring is really here. We're too far south for this breath of winter to harm these gorgeous early arrivals...wisteria dripping purple blossoms in front of the high school...my grandmother's azaleas exploding in front of my mother's house...my dad's yesterday-today-and-tomorrow plant that blooms a different color each day...bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush dancing on the sides of the highway between Houston and Austin...
