    My tulip leaves and lily leaves were coming up before they got buried by a foot of snow. I'm hoping the will revive when the snow finally melts.

    We've had daffodils blooming and even some trees with flowers on them. I don't believe spring is here until I see leaves on the weeping willow trees. Today I saw my first ones!

    Time helps the sadness subside, but the memories remain forever.

    Some of my daffodils started blooming 2 wks ago. Others havent bloomed yet.... Little crocuses bloomed several weeks ago and are long gone..... A month ago during a warm spell I saw a bluebird perched on a bluebird box in the yard, I think I'll see more bluebirds soon.... Robins are here... Geese are always flying back and forth here. They stay here year round. They go to a pond nearby and then they go back to wherever and the next day day they do the same thing..... I saw two ducks in the pond perhaps looking for a nesting area.... The bees are out from their hives and have been on most days this winter unless it is very very cold.... Some trees here are budding out..... Frogs are croaking/peeping away at the pond... The yard is mostly green and I was thinking today that it won't be long before I'll be cutting the grass. It's not unusual to mow at the beginning of April. I'll be glad when SPRING really gets here

    A dear friend of mine moved to the Boise Idaho area a few years ago, and having to mow the lawn in March was one thing that really freaked her out a bit! Right now the grass here is only green because it stays that color when dormant, nothing is actually growing yet!

    Last year I had to have my yard mowed from February through October, although there were a few weeks in July that I didn't have to mow because the weather was over 100 degrees and the grass wasn't growing. I have my yard mowed by someone else, but if I had a mower, I probably would have mowed my yard by now. It isn't really warm enough for the grass to grow regularly, but there are areas that are rather tall.
