Vancouver seems to have resolutely thawed at last, and spring is in... well, the trees, actually. Not so much the air. Its still typically between 45ºF and 50º—not a vast improvement from the winter. There is starting to be some warmer days though, and it gives me hope. Today it was a balmy 56ºF. Anyhow, at least the trees have managed to hold up their end of the whole spring thing. They are all aflounce with pink and white blossoms. Flouncy, floofy—no sense of proportion—they are almost impossible to take seriously. And this is"...how God clothes the grass of the field." Beautifully. Lavishly. Abundantly. Gratuitously. So..."will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith?" (Matt. 6:30)

This gratuitous festooning of the so recently bare branches is a delightful change from their skeletal winter frames. Welcome, flouncy trees!
