Winter does not want to leave us. Took some pics today even though it was so cold I could not wait to get back inside.


In the front I have lots and lots of daffs but only the earliest are up and showing some blooms.

Most of the daffs are buds only.

Back by the serviceberry shrubs the daffs really look like winter.

More promises of spring in this bed but the daffs are not open and the shrubs are not even showing leaf swells yet.

I am hoping once I get out in the garden more again that it might be easier to get off more weight. And I want to see my flowers so badly.

Some daffs are blooming here.




Others, not yet.

Here is a section of my front yard with these Belgium Block mini terreaces. I have daylilies at each end and daffodils in the middle.

It is raining hard here today too. I hope the rain doesn't beat up the daffs too much.

I'm still a bit behind but it's so great seeing your spring colors. Thanks.
