It's Alive, Part II

It's Alive

(45 degrees, cloudy and calm at 9:00 am)

Many of the flowers are coming back to life, and the roses and trees are leafing out, though the snowberry is still bare and most of the herbs are dormant.
Here are some of the many green things coming up.
Grass
Garlic and onions

Chives and daffodils

Bleeding heart

Lily
Raspberry

Hello March!

It's a snowy start to the month when spring begins.  These pictures look dark, but it's actually very bright out there, which makes my inner gardener wake up and think about digging in the dirt.

The gardens are not ready for planting.

But they will be soon!
It's 34 degrees, snowing and winds calm at 9:30 am.

Tracks in the snow

What are they?




Crabapple

The crabapples are hanging on for the birds.
