We New Englander's long for the RETURN of spring, even when the winter is mild, as it was this year. So for this week's Illustration Friday prompt word, RETURN, I reveled in the RETURN of spring.
I've worked in the garden several times this week, enjoying the seasonably cool weather, and marveling at how everything is several weeks ahead of the normal schedule for bloom-time!
For this illustration, I used a friend's daughter as a model, and had spring on my mind.
Here are a few photos of my spring garden from other years. The tulips haven't quite popped yet this year.
