Blossoms!
Yes, wonderful colors, sunshine and blooming things!
That doesn't sound out of the ordinary to you? Well it certainly is in my part of Wisconsin. It is normally still snow covered, blustery and gray days still this time of year. I have no complaints on the weather. Winter was unusually mild, only a few heavy snows that did not last horribly long. Yes, still some cold frigid days full of gray skies, but with less snow it was more tolerable!
So imagine my delight that just a few short weeks,
a mere 13 or 14 days after this last heavy wet blizzard ...
remember you can click on any of my photos to enlarge,

There is a bit of the color out of my door ...
Talk about a contrast of seasons !

brilliant yellow forsythia,
we had severally cut these back 2 falls ago but they are blooming nicely!
beautiful blooming crocus a buzz with insects
this kind of white I can handle in March!
I actually missed the rest of the crocus, the warm weather quickly wilted them before I could snap a picture of them today, sigh... I have not shown you the terrible mess my garden areas are this spring. Most of my readers know I was not able to keep up with anything due to neck pain and up coming cervical surgery in January. The yard is really a big mess! I am slowly doing better with physical therapy each week, so I plan on doing tiny bursts of cleaning when I can, weather co-operating. Maybe I will do a before and after of my shameful garden mess? Would you find that interesting or make you feel good that you are (or are not), the only one with/without major spring clean up? (I have it every year, but this year is the worst! Hangs head in shame. Hubby has been busy though.)
Spring is blooming in my heart today!!
