Foto Friday - It's Springing . . .

. . .  right outside my front door.

I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden.
~Ruth Stout

And it's a good thing because this week that is about the only place I have been able to greet it.
Not on a walk on the birding trail, or at my favorite garden center, and certainly not at the butterfly garden!
Just outside my front door . . .

About this same time last week I was taking photos and like I normally do I knealt down
on my knee (the already bad one) and when I got up...well, let's just say it hasn't been the same.
As in, I can't walk on it. I had to go in for an MRI today and with the help of sedation (and my sweet husband) I got through it with flying colors! Now I wait with fingers crossed . . . for good news.

(Insert violin music here, for my little pitty party)

Besides the gray, gloomy, and dismal days we have been having which is outside the realm of normal

here, I've also been having a dysfunctional relationship with a pair of crutches.
So, I decided to take some cuttings of my Indian Hawthorne's inside for a little photo shoot, which didn't last long as I was feeling a little distracted . . . by all the bees . . . gathering pollen outside my front door.

Do you see it, the light of the sun? It tried to shine it's way through the clouds for a brief second.

And then one second more....

I'm not sure what it is about the honey bee....but I could watch them all day long!

(Thanks for your indulgence in my little pity party)

Have a wonderful weekend friends!

What's the first thing to spring out your front door?
