And for any other readers from northern climes in need of a reminder that spring is coming:

This shot is from two weeks ago, over by the ice skating rink, just before the snow storm.
This morning on the way to and from the dentist I saw hyacinths starting to show their flowers and the first of the magnolia blooms. The daffs and the croci are in full bloom all over town.
OHHHHH!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by soe 03.12.09 @ 12:25 pmJenn, I thought of you when I took the shot. I knew you’d appreciate it!
Comment by soe 03.12.09 @ 12:26 pmOhhhhhh THANK YOU!!!
I needed that. Our daffodil leaves are maybe only a couple inches out of the ground so far.
