First signs of Spring!




Today my crocuses bloomed! It was such a nice suprise to see colors of purple and yellow blooms today, what at treat! Spring is my favorite time of year. Seeing all the bulbs emerge from the frozen ground in the late winter never ceases to amaze me. Its hard to believe that anything can survive the cold wet winters but they do and even better they start coming up regardless of the weather. My bulbs faithfully start budding every year in mid February. Every morning in February I study my front flower bed and wait for my bulbs to break through the ground. Its so fun to watch a flower bed that looks like nothing but dirt transform into living plants with every color you could imagine within just a couple months. Every week from February till the end of summer there is something new growing or blooming and I love it! Even though the winters are long and cold I am glad I live in an area that get winter weather because it makes me apprecitate and look forward to spring that much more. I cant hardly wait for the daffodils and tulips to bloom next!
