We saw 2 robins in our back yard this morning, still so much snow!!! I want to see this again!!

OH Mulchy that is just beautiful! I don't blame you. If my property looked like that I would be dying to see it too!

The snow in our front yard is all gone...AMEN! I actually have been helping the snow melt in the back by shoveling it out into the sunny areas of the yard and the sunny sections of the driveway. This morning I shoveled it all off my deck which stays shady most of the day and out into the back yard so the rain/ sun can finish melting it. Now there are just a few places where it is packed down and will take a little time to melt but at least I can see the light (I mean green) at the end of the tunnel!

Hi Penny,
Yes we have lots of room for flower beds....
We have lost alot of snow in the past few days. I have crocus flowering, looks like some daff. are breaking ground, but it is so wet!!! I walked around today and the ground is so wet. Saw and heard a few flocks of geese go over the past two days, that's a welcome sight!!!

Yesterday I went outside to look for spring. I found it! This is what it looks like in my yard.

Mulchy, your garden is lovely.

Mulchy, your gardens are fabulous!

Herbalbetty, Thanks for the nice comment on my gardens. I worked outside all day, my dh took the chainsaw and cut my grasses down and I had the pleasure of cleaning them up! I must admit it felt so good to be outside again, it's the first day for me, one more day of sunshine and we will be back to rain again!!!

Great garden mulchy!

Spring is here! here's what's blooming now:
- crocus
- snowdrops
- violas
- hellebores

I'm so excited with the warm weather and to have REAL flowers blooming. Once those crocus are up, it really is spring!

Mulchy, I haven't been able to get to my gardens yet cause there is still 1-2 feet of snow out there! We've had a warm week and expect warmth again today, so hopefully I can get to some of the trees closest to the house and pick up the many branches that came down in the Feb storm that dropped 6 feet of snow on us. C'mon spring!

My Helleborus is now in full bloom and it sure is a welcome sight. All the snow has melted and I hope we don't get more this week with the cold front coming through

The crocus is up in the white garden, and lots of things are showing swollen buds and leafing, but we have several more freezes coming, so I hope they don't suffer damage. The last of the snow disappeared around the 18th. We had an incredible week of warm to hot weather, but this next week is supposed to get colder.

I am ready for winter to be OVER.

Rosalinda,
I am with you! I am ready to move my plants out to the porch to get them out of the house and to get the beds ready for planting and see what has survived. By the way my Penstomons look great!

I did see my first robin of the season the other day about a mile from the house. Now I am waiting to see one in my yard!

Penny

Tonight I heard the spring peepers for the first time this year. I LOVE them!! I don't have them at my house, I have a CD I can listen to while I fall asleep. I just started blogging about gardening last week and hope to put up some pictures of my spring flowers that I expect to open this week when the temps climb into the 70's!! Can you believe it?? 75 degrees for April 4th predicted!! LOVE IT!!

We had had a pair of bluebirds for the past 3 days, they seem to be checking out the houses!!!!! I hope they stay!!!!

Well the rest of the week will be beautiful but then another cold front will be moving in. Hopefully it won't last. I am gradually moving some of the more hardier seedlings out to the porch.
