Spring is busting out all over

My favorite time to be in the hot tub is right at sunup; when I see the sun looking like this, I'm ready to take the plunge.
This is how things looked fifteen minutes later, when I got out.
That's my cottonwood tree in the foreground. It's windy today, and it was relaxing just watching that tree sway in the breeze. These days I can hardly wait for daylight so I can go check out the trees, shrubs, and flowers.

Almost!
I left my herb garden outside last night, since the temperatures weren't going to be dipping as low as usual. They're going to have to be put out in the garden someplace, because they're crowding themselves out of a home in this planter, and not looking too healthy.

The tomatoes and peppers, on the other hand, are looking great so far; the only problem is that they need to be set out into the garden NOW, and we're still having frost and freezing. I just hope they hang in there. Next year I won't be in such a hurry to plant those seedlings.
