Signs of spring after all

I'm making steady progress on Rob's second sock. Here it is with one of the hyacinths slowly emerging against our south-facing wall.

Our west-coast spring is slow to arrive this year. No snow so far in March, though, so I mustn't really complain. The rest of Canada is still having winter.

Here is the kale that overwintered in Dave's coldframe on the patio. I think I'll use some for dinner soon. It has actually started to grow again despite last week's cold snap.

And here is our Mookie. He looked so pretty when I brought the camera out that I had to take his picture.
