I just started seeing some crocuses and hyacinths peeking up out of the ground. This is incredible! It seems like just yesterday (although it was three weeks ago) there was over three feet of snow on my front lawn – not counting the snow banks where we piled the snow to get it out of the driveway!
Now actually, there are little patches of green grass, pretty soon there will be bigger patches and bigger still. And I’ll have to get ready to fertilize, and eventually mow the lawn. But for today I’ll be happy and content just to look at the little flowers coming out of the ground by the house!
