Spring yellow

I know everyone thinks of spring color being green.


And it's true. Leaves in spring are an amazing chartreuse but for me the color that heralds spring is yellow.


As in daffodils.




My garden, my neighborhood rejoice in yellow every March.
It's like a signal for everyone saying "COME OUTSIDE! The garden is calling you!"


Yellow shows up in birdhouses and moss,
in the middle of flowers as an attraction for the bees.



Yellow as in the dreaded dandelion (which I kind of can't resist loving when they're this cheerful!)




Spring, I'm so glad to see you.
Winter felt like it was going to linger forever and then suddenly here you are and we are all awash in that happiest of spring colors:

YELLOW!
