Forecasted warmer temps and little moisture make me smile, just like this flower I found a couple of weeks ago, across the street from my building.

I figured it was time share this little beauty with y'all, since our 7-day forecast looks so nice. Yea!

I took this photo on March 30, 2013. I need to go out this weekend, looking for the downtown planters. I'll bet they are full of flowers either already blooming or about to bloom--we've had some warmer temperatures lately and some soft rain.
