It is very cool and windy this morning. I will be out and about after it warms up a bit. I love the spring garden!

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Bonnie,

Am loving your pictures, about half of which are the first pictures seen of the variety.

The Bianco is lovely!

I admit, I get a laugh every time I see the thread title. You sure have a lot of bloomers missy!

Leslie, a girl can never have too many bloomers!

Lucy, it is hard for me to imaging still being covered in snow with all the world greening up here. I hope spring comes soon for you.

Looking good, keep the pictures coming. We have two days of rain predicted starting tomorrow, then two days of snow/rain mix. Ugh! I have a bloom on my Pasque flower coming up! I'd even look forward to a dandelion!

Oh, Tom, I am sorry it is still winter in your garden. Too much. The birds are building here and the frogs are singing. All the trees have leaves now and the mosquitoes are a pest. I love cold evening by the fireplace with a good book and a beverage of choice but I only want a short period of that. I guess I will get my indoor time when the heat becomes to brutal to live outdoors this summer.

Neal, those beards are just lovely. The only thing that would make them better is if they were bigger. They really draw you close to that bloom.

Yesterday I wore my winter clothes to feed horses in the morning and then wore a T shirt to do the evening chores. It was nearly 70 degrees with 40 MPH winds. Today's high is about 34 degrees, windy, cold and damp. The poor plants don't know what to do.
