Don't count on it...

The weather was (is) warm.  It is (was) cold.  It is (was) snowing.  It was (is) dry and windy.  A sprinkle of rain fell (falls).  A  warm sun shone (shines).
  
The daffodils are blooming.

And the Avalanche Lilies.
Snowberry is leafing out.
The new improved greenhouse! A few things have sprouted.  Mostly maple tree seedlings from all the leaves we put on last fall.  The greenhouse doesn't hold heat at night, but as soon as the sun rises, it heats up fast.  On warmer days I have to open the doors and lift all the flaps. 
Snowy daffodils

The flower starts are ready to be transplanted, but it's too early.  

It's 34 degrees and snowing at 9:30 am; 43 degrees in the greenhouse.

"Avalanche Lilies": I had never heard of them or seen them. This flower reminds a little of the wild orchid that grows in the woods around my village in Italy, and we call it 'Le scarpette della Madonna' Holy Mary's little shoes.
