maybe not spring but the blue sky is lovely.

you must be sick of all the snow. I really feel like winter is over here, but I suppose I shouldn't forget that it's not even March yet!

Since I"m just a few miles east of you...shouldn't we have the same amount of snow??? We lost most of ours around the end of Feb...in the first five days of March we now have a foot and a half!! Grrrr.... I want spring!

unbelievable lori and gillian!
its amazing how quickly you forget once the snow is gone!

Day before I took this I took this the snow was just about gone and I could see grass and bulbs starting to show!

we have actually got sun today!! despite starting off very cold ~ bird bath had thick ice on it.
i think bulbs coming up through the snow are really pretty, hope they survive.

Bulbs are only as far as a few tips of green so far, be a while before any flowers appear but it's encouraging to see something growing.

just found the pigeons have eaten loads of things that were coming up ~ i dont like the pigeons!!!

Poor pidges...fresh greens...yum! Just think of it as pre-emergence pruning! Wonder if there's anything a person could put out that would distract them from "the darling buds of May" ??

at the moment i have put a plastic cloche on top ~ hope it puts them off at least for now!
