Linen and a Spring -Like Walk

Thanks so much for all your comments concerning my linen problem.  The good news is that I have all the pieces that I had to order.  So I put Halloween aside in the WIP pile and have started "Slicker Bunny".  It is the perfect project for Spring in Seattle.  I think you will agree that the Lakeside Linen, Flagstone, is a great gray color!! All of the Mardi Gras decorations came down today as is the tradition.  Next year, we will put them up a bit earlier. The DH and I hated to take them down, they were so festive.
It rained all night and we woke up to fairly warm sunny day.  It was a beautiful day until about 3 o'clock when our next rain storm moved in.  We took our camera on our walk.  I hope you enjoy seeing all the signs of spring!

It doesn't look much like a bunny yet but I do love the color!

The hyacinths are coming up.  They are right outside the front door. I think they smell wonderful!

A double hellebore.  It has to be held up as this variety looks down.  We are now buying only the ones that face upward.

 Company for the goofy daffodil.

Blooms of sorts on the contorted filbert.

 Such a  fresh green color after a night of rain.

 Raindrops on emerging tulips.

We walk this way many times a week.  Why did we never notice this before!!
 

A very early Rhododendron.

We saw so many crocuses.

This is called the Lilly-of-the-Valley bush. The correct name is Pieris.  There are several varieties of this plant.

Such pretty little iris.

Last but not least, here is a planter we bought in Arizona.  I put it  just outside the door to the deck.  We can see it clearly from the kitchen.

Thanks for joining me today!
