Dave, the snow melted enough today that there are patches for our first snow crocuses to come through. And LabourofLove still has a foot of snow everywhere, so she's probably a week behind us. These snow crocuses are our first (and only) spring bulbs in bloom -- I saw some buds coming up, but while not like Kate, we still have some of our gardens covered with snow... They aren't exciting, but ... they ARE exciting! It's been a long winter!

Generic blue snow crocuses with artemesia
So perhaps we can open the door for some of us to add ours to the tail end here?
