A good day!

I try not to complain too much on here about things other than the weather, but the last couple of months just seemed to have been one thing after another around here. Nothing serious any of them, but after a continual stream of something expensive breaking or someone being sick I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and stressed last night. I remember thinking to myself last night, "Please let tomorrow be a good day!"
Going in to wake Sweet Pea this morning, never an easy task, I raised her shade only to be greeted by this beautiful sunrise:

It was the most bright red sky and the fog had settled in the low areas behind the school yard.

Just to the right of the sunrise the fog was heavy but the red sky still glowed. How could something this pretty not signal a good day?
Later in the day after returning from a nursery where I found a beautiful double Hellebore that I'd been looking for, I went outside in the backyard to do a little cleanup. (The Hellebore is still in bud, but I will show pictures when it opens.)

As I looked across the pond I realized that a couple of Water Hawthorn flowers had opened with more buds coming through the surface of the water.

A Primrose along the path that was planted last year is just about to bloom.

The Corsican Hellebore is opening more too.

The buds on this Oxalis crassipes 'Rosea' seemed to have appeared overnight. It isn't unusual for this Oxalis to bloom in the Winter, but I hadn't seen flowers on it for quite a long time.

Another Pulmonaria bud from a division I made last year. This probably isn't that early either early, maybe a couple of weeks. Still I was very happy to see it.

And the Iris reticulata that I shared in bud late last week, has now bloomed. They remind me of a watercolor.

An unplanned pairing; the sign and the Iris, but a perfect combination I think!

Yes, today was a good day. I hope it was a good day for everyone else too!
