Last Year

I took this photo on April 27th last year.  As of yet, looking outside my tree-level window at work, the buds are quietly keeping to themselves.  They're waiting for the cold to lift just like I am.  I think I took our extremely long winter in stride, but if a warm front doesn't roll around soon, I think I may lose it.

This particular spring has been trying to teach me patience.  It's not working very well.
