It's the first day of Spring!

Our peach tree is responding appropriately:

Our irises have given way to delicate hyacinth:


And the willow in our backyard is beginning to unfurl its pale green leaves.

At first glance, the desert behind our house doesn't show many signs of Spring.

But look closer...

No, that's not quite close enough. Get down on your knees...

Ahhh, there we go. A veritably verdant carpet of baby tumbleweed. Spring has arrived in our desert.
Happy vernal equinox, everybody!
