Before the last couple of wet days, we had a chance to look over the yard in the sun.
Bill chose to start on the "pick up" of woody debris that is always a harbinger of spring here.
Winter winds prune the birch trees all too well.
The sun had the various crocus patches absolutely glowing.
These Crocus ancyrensis hold the glow record" as far as I am concerned.
It was lovely to see many other groups popping up with full colours in effect or at least a hint.These dark purple crocus amongst the lamb's ears are one such group.
There are still some snowy areas. The back hillside with the 2004 nursery bed is still very wintry. It would also appear that the wooden framework around the bed has succumbed to heavy snow. That bit of structure was (is)destined to be removed this spring anyway.
Anywhere the snow has disappeared there are emerging shoots of one thing or another. These big noses belong to a species Peony seedling that blooms long before the "regular" peonies.
The cats have been keen on being outdoors this spring. Voodie came along for the walk..jpg)
