The Promise of Spring

The season starts with a dream and faith in the smallest seed.

First Signs!

After a VERY warm couple of days last week it looks like there may be hope for the over-grown mess that is currently the new garden. In less that 24 hours the place seemed to suddenly spring to life with the arrival of HUNDREDS of tiny crocuses.

They are literally everywhere you look. This is one of the patches just randomly appearing in the back yard.


More spring time harbingers
This little clump is coming up right out next to the parking area. Nice to know that as Spring starts to kick it into high gear in the next couple of weeks there may be even more pleasant surprises to come as we get a chance to see what (besides bamboo) is lurking just below the surface!
