The weather here has been so warm lately that we now have a yard full of the hues of early spring flowers. We also have tea olives beginning to bloom. They have tiny white flowers, easily missed by the naked eye, that have the most stunning and far reaching fragrance. It seems they're all a few weeks early this year.  
So the good news is, it's Spring!
