Yeah--I'm so prematurely excited!
My traditional early bloomers are still under snow/ice--
We had some torrential rain yesterday--turned much of my snow into ice-lakes on muck on frozen ground.
This guy is on a sunny hill and had less snow cover so it pretty much washed away to reveal this.
Craziness--we get most of our annual precip as heavy snows in late winter/spring around here, forecast says it's just a matter of days until he's buried again. Hope he survives sog-season...
