Looks like spring has definitely sprung. The white cat in the last pic looks like he is pretending to be a squirrel. Made me laugh.

I still can’t believe
that you had a bear...
that must have given
you all quite a scare!

trillium, lilium
and daffy-down-dillies
Daisy climbing down the tree
gives Auntie Kay the willies.

violets, chestnuts,
Buster and Dorah — oh,
Daisy only climbed the tree
to see a white-throat sparrow.

I adore reading your comments, thank you all, but only Kay L. write a poem! She's quite a lady!

Love your photos. I don't think I've ever seen a maroon trillium. They're usually white. Love Kay's poem! What fun!
