Signs of Spring


Slowly but surely, little signs of spring are appearing. The first tender shoots of daffodil and tulips are pushing through the earth. The special tulip bulbs, hand delivered via the honeymooners after their trip to Amsterdam last September, are also starting to push through the earth in the large clay pots they were planted in on the porch. Tiny white snowdrops are budding, looking like pearly white teeth right now. Soon a sunny day will arrive and they will open their faces wide as they seek the sun. Don't you just love the little bits of spring that are appearing, even on these wintry days? They speak of hope, promise, and joy. For now, I'm just wishing the clouds would move aside and LET THE SUNSHINE IN!

Have you seen signs of spring in your yard?

  1. Hello La Tea Dah...No signs of spring in the yard around here. Any blade of grass that might come up come spring is buried under about four feet of snow. Where are you located? I'm so happy for you that spring is closer to you! Will keep you posted. Susan

  2. My chickens have started laying again so I guess they think spring is almost here too. I'm more than ready for it!

  3. Oh yes, I have seen the signs. There are a few crocus now blooming and daffodils thinking about it. The calla lilies and tulips are pushing through the ground and the camellia's buds are swelling. It is truly exciting and gives hope for new beginnings. A little snow today, but now it has stopped.

  4. No, none. Though I am very glad that green things are poking up through in your yard. What fun it will be to see what the honeymooners brought you all the way from Amsterdam!

  5. We have had some absolutely gorgeous weather here. I was walking in the yard of my new place and found some daffodils shooting up through the ground. We call them Easter flowers. I hope Spring has decided to come! Blessings!

  7. I am certainly in the waiting for spring camp...this is the time of year in the rainy Northwest that I think it will never come but look for little snow drops to peek out and say "Hello".
