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.
