Buds are Leafing

Spring is so amazing.  I'm new to Northern California (from So. Cal.) and so I was thrilled to see my first pair of brilliant blue birds scouting out my yard for insects!  There were yellow finches and now there are a pair of doves sitting on the edge of the trampoline.  This morning I realized that little leaves have opened all over some of the naked trees.  I have really loved seeing the winding branches of the naked trees and have some regret that they will be camouflaged again with leaves, and yet . . . the greening should be a beautiful sight to witness as well.
