Signs of Spring


With March well under way, there are changes going on the garden. Slowly, but surely.... signs of life are re-appearing.



Daffodils emerging, with their flower buds already intact.




Same daffodils, a week later under an inch of snow! Yup... it's March, and anything can happen. Fortunately, the snow melted very quickly, in this case.



Forsythia branches, being forced on the windowsill.....




.....it's first yellow blossoms opening in the sun.





Garden clean-up begins in earnest, with the first ritual of Spring.... the pruning of my Simplicity rose hedge. This was a stealth shot by my dear husband. :-)




And lastly, a robin... looking for worms.
