pansies for mellow yellow monday

last friday morning I made my annual pilgrimage to pick up a flat of pansies to plant around our home in time for easter. it has been so chilly here lately it's hard to believe these delicate flowers can survive outdoors. aren't they beautiful? 
today is mellow yellow monday. if you feel so inclined, please visit drowsey monkey's mellow yellow monday meme to check out all things yellow. & don't forget to add your own bit of yellowness too.
