I meant "green" as in growing things.

I have been outside raking away the very last pine needles and oak leaves from my front beds and found my

- clematis vine is leafing out
- shamrocks are making nice green healthy clumps
- Lenten roses (white and pink) are in full bloom
- Japanese bloodroot has leafed out and will soon have its shy white flowers in the deep shade
- tulips about to bloom
- forsythia is blooming; so is spirea and flowering quince

Hooray! I will be outside from now on, starting early and staying late, coming in for tea at lunchtime.

At last.
