I love spring flowers!

[sweet_magnolia]

I started seeing my early spring flowers popping up in my garden in January.





They survived the 2-4 inches of snow we got a few times in February and this morning on my way out the door to work, I saw some of my mini daffodils blooming!





I love this time of year. It's so exciting to see what comes up that I put out last year that I forgot about. But I've got to get to work soon on getting the leaves raked out!

Thanks for checking out my flowers. Happy Spring!!!!

I got some brave stuff poking up too...krokuses I think? Maybe?

"I love the spring and the spring's breezes
That blows the girl's dresses up past their kneeses!"

Or something like that...Ogdin Nash I think...

Love spring, it's amazing what a week and a half of warm weather brought. I was walking around the pond last week and it still had ice except for about a foot around the parameter. There I seen a turtle peeking out from under the ice, now one week later no ice at all. Tadpoles, frogs and alot of our seasonal birds are back minus a few. I have seen flocks of geese and flocks of swans flying north. Funny thing there was a flock of swans the other day, maybe 100 and among them was one lone goose about half way down the V formation. Hey rich you harvesting saffron?

I had a lot of crocus last year that bloomed in the snow. This year only one little lonely plant came up

That would so awesome to see a flock of swans! We have seen many Great Blue Heron flocks this year and they were amazing!

I have about 25 saffron crocus in my garden that are still fairly new plants. I am hoping they will do something this year and I can get at least a little saffron...but those bloom in the fall so I'll have to wait and see what I get.

That would be cool to pluck some saffron, I know only a certain variety produces it but not sure which one. Good luck with this anyway. And OH KNOW the herons are on their way just when I am getting ready to re-stock my pond with fish. A few years back I put some trout in there and was planning on catching and eating in the fall, heck they didn't last a week the herons got em all. I really wanted to give them some lead poisoning LOL

Pretty Becky.
I was out cleaning up my yard today. The snow has finally melted enough where I can at least get in part of my garden. There is still snow on the North side of the house.
Do you grow veggies and flowers or just flowers?

I heard the brewing story. Damn am I getting old or what? lol. I graduated high school, got married/ had a kid and went to boot camp all in 1975. Excellent looking buds bud.
