No one would argue – at least not up this neck of the woods – that this has been a long, long winter. So when I went walking on a recent sunshiny day, I went searching for signs of life – Spring life! And here’s a small sampling of what I found.
One of two brave little wild crocus poking its head up
among the dead grass and leaves.
Bunches of daffodils were just waiting for a little more sunlight, a little more warmth. While I didn’t find any in bloom yet, there were truly “crowds of daffodils” everywhere, in people’s yards, by the river, in the midst of wilder areas I passed, ready to grace us with their golden trumpets.
Hiding and shy within the shade of an old abandoned garage, these snowdrops just pushed aside the dead leaves — I may be small, but I am mighty!
Here and there in yards that would soon have busy people raking and clearing and mulching were occasional small bunches of crocus in bloom.

You pedal, little crocus. You pedal!

The days seem to be warming up very slowly this year, but the flowers can’t be far behind. They’ll be a welcome change for sure! J.

O the blessed relief the sight of flowers brings this winter go round.
I’m currently nipping the heads off the earliest jonquils which surfaced, much to my delight, in a small patch along the side of the house near the door. I was so grateful that they survived the rollercoaster weather patterns this year. The crocuses declined to rise and shine, but some tulips are considering putting on a show. Though they’re reluctant to give any signs of flowering.
Thanks for sharing your signs of life.
Your visits to my blogcasa are most appreciated. :)

Hey! I’m glad you come by to visit as well. :-) Jonquils – how lovely! We have lots of daffodils right about now and crocus, too. The tulips – a big deer fave around here – should be appearing. Hopefully, we’ll get to see them before they’re snacked on!

Yeah, that’s someplace I don’t see myself going … still trying to acclimate to dark, leafy greens. No easy task!
