I was pulling up to my apartment in my car Thursday afternoon,and I saw young Daffodils starting to emerge out of the soil. A snow mound was there several days ago. I haven't seen the flowers yet,but the green part of the plants are starting to emerge out of the soil. I see the green Daffodil plants coming up fast.

Spring is coming. Don't worry. Nature has it's timings. BF

I love this time of year, God's handiwork is so beautiful. I have been looking for buds on the pear trees too. I hope my outdoor plants come back from the winter, it was a tough one. Thanks for posting this BF it keeps me right here in today.

Hi Mari. I'm not to familiar with crocuses. My mother was in a garden club,and my grand mother on my mom's side of the family had a green house connected
to the left side of her house. They knew all of the names of the plants,and flowers.

Now I was a butterfly collector. My neighbor who's now a scientist with NASA got me interested in that. I caught,and mounted,and displayed butterflies,and moths that where colorful. I loved that hobby. I haven't done that in years. I was a fun hobby.

Soon we will hear Spring Peepers. I love their sounds. BF

Hey TBI/PTSD. Spring is my favorite time of the year also. Everything comes alive,and it's beautiful. I love the sound of Spring Peepers. We will hear a chorus of them soon. They are soothing to the heart to hear. BF

wow, that's a great sign BF.

My crocus are just blooming. They do that here for me at the end of Summer/Start of Autumn (Fall). I love the crocus. People used to call me the crocus fairy because when they were dormant I'd go around planting them everywhere I could just so there would be that wonderful surprise when they finally flowered.

Weird upside down world we live in!

I do not know who planted the crocuses from my memory.
When I was in grade school there were some white ones that would open up very very early in the spring /late winter.
Once they came up through some snow.

My mother was always very happy to see them.

We had some daffodils that seemed to grow wild too. I think that they were yellow.

Ugh, even with two days above 40* and rain! we still have a 2' snow pack and mounds around my flower garden area from shoveling the walks. Looks like more to come this week, weekend, and next Tuesday.

Steve what a hopeful sign of Spring! Glad you shared.
