    I got back from a week traveling for work where I barely had a chance to look up. But I got back and my winter jasmine in front of my house is in full bloom. Granted, it's winter jasmine and it's supposed to be blooming, but it's such a welcome sight!

    Around the corner the neighbors have some daffodils that are blooming. I, being a supreme procrastinator, only planted my bulbs last week! But they were in my fridge for a few months, so maybe they'll come up.

    In the meantime, it's still cold here--not spring yet.

    Daffodils blooming?!?

    There is NOTHING even beginning to peek up through the frozen ground here. Still plenty of snow and ice in the shady areas, and temps in the teens most every night.

    But I'm glad that some of us are enjoying peepers and daffodils... Daffodills just have that Spring smell. I did hear the chickadees calling each other like mad this morning, getting ready for romance....

    I placed an order with Gurneys Seed & Nursery Company! Granted, it won't ship until April, but still, my heart is racing!

    All my ruellia, mexican heather, society and japanese thorny bush (forgot what they are calles) are bare and ugly but I hope they will be coming back around soon. My landscaping looks a little haggard at the moment.

    spring ? ? ? ? ?
    It is +2 farenheit here and we still have 4 feet of snow on the ground.
    Me thinks spring may get here by June 21st


    It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
