There's one day every year, after a long winter of snow and barren landscape, and then an interminable early spring, when everything finally just
pops.
The grass gets green and the buds on trees turn to leaves and the sun comes out, and the whole world goes "
Poof."
That is what is called
Poof Day.
Poof Day happened around here on Sunday,
Mothers Day The Day of the Mutha.
.
There are
rules to follow when
Poof Day occurs.
First, mow the grass.

And
then, plant the veggies and herbs.

And plant flowers for
Mothers Day Mumsie's Day.
.
Another thing happens around here on
Poof Day as well.
.
Remember early spring?

All that
yellow?

All those forsythia and daffodils?

The yellow is
gone.

It's been replaced by a more dramatic, a more fragrant, a deeper and more delicious color.

You know about
business time? Well, around here, it's
purple time.

Poof Day is the best day of the year!

I'm loving Spring this year. The only trouble is that I have to weed, and I'm incredibly lazy about it. Thanks to all the rain, I get to put it off again. But now I need to mow the lawn...
Wow! I like the purple (you know I am the purple crayon), but what's getting me is how green it is -- just look at that back yard.

It's true. All the rain has made it so lush and verdant and eye-popping green around here. It's almost too much for the human eyeball to bear.

Purdy, I love all of that purple. We have Jacaranda trees everywhere here, and I just love the soft purple haze that seems to fill the air that surrounds them.
I do have a special affinity for green ever since I discovered that is my true crayon color.

We past our first poof and are waiting for poof number two. I have big expectations for the second poof so I'm very excited.
That's some hyper-poofin' you go going on there!
Poof day has come and gone, I suppose, but we're feeling very purple, too. Pretty pics!
