Red twig dogwood
Today began cloudy and cold, but the sun soon came out, and the weather rapidly improved. By the time Patton and I got outside this morning, there were lots of sunbreaks. By the time we went back out this afternoon, walking down to the river with a friend, it was almost comfortably warm. (Just a light jacket needed.) Patton, obviously, didn't mind either the temperature outside, nor the temperature of the river water. He got in deeper, explored further, and generally had a wonderful time of it!
His rock climbing ability was quite amazing! When he climbed on top of the first rock, we were surprised. He quickly summited a second rock, and headed out for a third - but the water was too deep there for his taste, so he turned around. He explored the shoreline both up and down river, and ignored us as best he could.
Returning home, the signs of spring become more and more obvious. The maple is in full bloom, and the red twig dogwood is absolutely vivid, and beginning to bud out. We now have lots of crocus in bloom (and Pattom keeps biting off the flower heads and spitting them out) and have even had a dandelion bloom. Not long...not long...and the garden will again be my home!
