Not a particularly F&FF-worthy photo, but this tree! Weeping Scotch Laburnum/alpine laburnum/alpine golden chain or rain (I like that last). Is it possible it has bloomed like this every year, and I never noticed it? It hums with unseen, but hard working bees. Spring this year is extraordinary. So much I wish I could tell my mom. So I do. Maybe she hears.

Writing Down the Story 
I know what you mean about the spring being extraordinary. Wall flowers that I planted several years ago are blooming profusely, and the daffodils (sadly now passed) were the prettiest they’ve been in years.
