Before I get the switch.......... If I guess the right flower do I get a free pass?

I think we need to make jobe run a gauntlet line. PWP gets to cut the switches and take the first whack! He needs to run the line through about 3 feet of ice covered snow!


Just kidding. We really do like to see glimpses of hope in the form of green. Glad there will be green somewhere in the country for St Patty's day.
 
All we have been getting here is rain and more rain, my new sump pumps life has diminished a few years in the last 3 weeks. All the rivers around here are at their peak and some floweth over, but my basements dry! Temps have been around 30-50 which is nice but the grounds are just mush so not much to do out there.
 
We still have several feet of snow, but today the temps got up in the 40's

We even had 2 Snowdrops blooming outside of our living room window today

I sense something in the air.....could it be.....Spring??


No pics of the snowdrops, perhaps tomorrow if they decide to open again.
 
Nothing blooming around here....the wind blows all the snow off of the fields into the front yard....

There is a pretty large bird bath in the middle of the photo, you can just see the top of it...gives you an idea of how much snow is out there...we know it can't last forever....can it????

As you can see we still have quite a bit of snow here, but the last day or two has at least melted the snow right next to the house on the south side....

Upon closer inspection under the big window on the far end......

There was one blooming yesterday, but my daughter decided to pick it. No big deal, this one looks like it might bloom pretty soon....

Yesterday it hit 50*F...though only briefly....then it rained along with HUGE snow flakes that disappeared....today near 40*F and the snow is going fast....

Gives us some hope that spring might come...but we know it will snow again as March is our snowiest month...usually heavy wet stuff.
 
72 here today, Wild plums and other plants are beginning to bloom. Grass is turning green.i even mowed part of my yard or errr weeds this evening
