Today it is so beautiful. The sun has been shining all morning and has melted the beautiful hard frost we had during the night.
The pond has been transformed with the sight of the marsh marigold flowering. We only have one flower on the Japanese monster marsh marigold but because it is large compared to the normal marsh marigold which is clumped nearby and not flowering yet, it looks so bright and majestic. I am going to go out and see if anything else is coming into bud or flower on the pond, but just that one flower has brightened us up so much.
