Three days 'til Spring

Tiny grape hyacinth are just pushing their way up from the ground, and I went out before lunch, Barley in tow, to take a few pictures.

Apparently, Barley didn't like the background, because he gently put his paw down behind it for a different look.

Then, a whiff... Hmmm, not bad...

but the smell of sausage from the kitchen...

that is ecstasy!
