A Slow Start to Spring

Someday soon, it will actually begin to feel like spring. If only that someday would get here a little faster! I do think we are done with the snow, and the deep freezes have eased. But it's still very chilly. The wind blows cold, even when the sun shines. It's disheartening, to say the least. Fortunately, some of my blooms just got tired of waiting for warmer weather, and bloomed anyway. 
I'm so glad they did. These little blooms give me hope that spring is really on it's way.

The weather is ever so slowly getting warmer. Now I don't normally think of 47 as a warm spring day, but it's a whole lot better than the 30's we had just last week. By the weekend we'll see the 60's. Now THAT will feel like spring. 
So it may be a slow, slow start to the spring, but I'll take it anyway.

  1. It's the same here. Warm one day cold the next. Sigh. Your flowers seem to not mind so much-yeah!

  4. As much as we love warm springs...having a cool one makes a big difference to how long the flowers last.

  5. I love the spring flowers that emerged from bulbs. Pansies are lovely too, and there are so many varieties.

  6. I know what you mean about the plants getting tired of waiting, so just deciding to bloom anyway. I think that is what ours have done, though next week temps are definitely supposed to be spring-like. I hope you get your warmer weather this weekend!

  7. Lovely photos, love that Jetfire and those Violas. Thank you for coming to talk about Sunny KO and Julia on my blog. My Sunny looked kind of wan at winter's end but has commenced to redeem itself. Julia's blossoms do not fade to white in the manner of Sunny; they remain that buttery hue, if that sways you.
