Outside

 On Monday night we had a serious windstorm. It left a big mess in the yard and a tree down on the neighbor's power line. 

The power line is restored, a crew has been hired and is coming on Saturday to clean up the large Madrone tree, and the last two days Tom has been busy cleaning up the yard.

Today the sky was blue and the temperature reached 63 degrees, and I spent 40 minutes outside, doing laps on the driveway and walking around the yard taking photos. Using my trekking poles, I am not yet very stable, but it was great to be outside in my garden.

A couple of purple crocus with silver cyclamen leaves.

Snowdrops finally got to open up.

The white Hellebore is a bit battered but a strong survivor of deep freezes, rain, and wind.

The pink Hellebore is later and not so battered.

Tom'sgreenhouse is full of geranium cuttings and overwintering tender plants.

Tulips are up.

Winter blooming hardy cyclamen are blooming.

Primroses persist.

Daffodils are in bud.

Cleaned up and dry, it's like today was suddenly a new season.
