Where are the spring Blooms?
Ellen Peffley
Spring blooms open the gardening year—cheerful yellow daffodils, soft orange and white jonquils, rainbow colors of iris, fragrant purple hyacinths, and deep pink peonies.

Joy may seem elusive at times, but I like to think that there are people among us who know just when to write the song, produce the movie, make the podcast, or publish the book that could evoke some smiles.

On a windy day, it could’ve blown up into a disaster for nearby homeowners— but thanks to quick action by passers-by, it ended up no worse than a scorched patch of earth in front of the Spur Visitor Center.
