Signs of Spring

Even if there is snow and it's not exactly warm, there's hope.

 It's March.   It's sunny.  I hear a time change is fast approaching.  And the first official day of Spring isn't far off!  Whoo-hoo!

A few leaves have bravely made their appearance.  Mini-daffodils are so reliable.  Buy a pot for color in the deep of winter, shove them in the soil later that spring, and enjoy them every year after.  No thought or care required.


This regular old daffodil is pushing through the snow too.

It occurred to me that this is a three-season photo: old leaves from autumn, snow from winter and the "can Spring be far off" leaves. 

It's not springtime without flowering bulbs and it's always a toss-up whether the crocus, mini-iris or mini daffs will blossom first.  

Except this year, the violets beat them all. Presenting the first flowers of 2023!

Another four inches of snow is predicted in our extended forecast.  More water for my garden.  But still, sigh...

  1. Mini daffs are a favorite of mine, too. Although, right now, the sprouts are under about four inches of snow.... I'm over it and longing to see those daffs bloom!
