262: Flowering

In bloom: magnolia trees, ranuculas, daffodils.

It's gray and cloudy today, but I find comfort in the flowers, the buds, the unfurling of the maple leaves. We're un-cocooning now. The hydrangea bush is beginning to push through the loam, and I keep peaking at where the peony bushes faded last autumn, hoping. Those and ranuculas (which are the two last flowers above) are my favorites. I love those papery layers.
