Is it Spring?

 
The first flower of the season!  By the time I got the photo off the camera and onto the computer, a couple of days had gone by - and so had this little crocus.  There used to be 2-3 little crocus plants in this spot but this is the only one left.  I've got to remember to buy some new bulbs next fall!

These daffodils are now the only flowers in the yard but they are enough to put a smile on my face whenever I look in their direction.  I just noticed the rose canes in the photo too.  Can you see that they are beginning to green up with little buds?  I am SURE that spring is really on its way.  

Any other signs of spring?  Well, the lawns are greening up a bit; all we need is a good rain for a major 'green' leap to occur but it has been fairly dry lately.  It was supposed to be about 75 degrees today but we woke to a pea soup fog and it is barely into the low 60s.  I broke out the capris anyway.

Welcome Spring!
