Life returns
slowly to the ridgetop, though we did have a little burst of snow tonight.
I love the beginnings of spring. After a dreary, wet winter it so nice to see stuff starting to bloom. 
It’s really been a warmer than usual winter and it seems to me that everything is starting early.
The yellow blossoms of our native filbert (aka hazelnut)
and the pretty beginnings of a little yellow crocus at the edge of the lawn
and it also returns to me too. I spent the day in Portland at the Portland Art Museum visiting the Treasures of Ancient Egypt: Quest for Immortality. It’s extremely humbling to view pieces of human art that have existed for as much as 3500 years.

Wonderful pics of things starting to happen. Daphne’s in bloom down here on the valley floor. I’m so ready for it!
Don’t want to criticize — especially on my first comment, but please go back and correct spelling — I’m sure that the Egyptions were looking for ImmorTality, LOL!

Ah yes, spring is in the air! I was in DC earlier this week and it was quite chilly, but returned to sunny warm weather in NC yesterday.
