The quince has been blooming for weeks, but I have my first daffodil in the yard this afternoon. The tender green weeds are coming up big time in my lawn.

I saw some crocus peeking out last week......but the pussy willows aren't starting to bloom so I think we still have a bit of winter to get through yet!

Bad, brucie, bad.... Now go to yer room....

Snow drops up but that's about it.... It's still way too early to sayin' that winer is on the down slide since we have had serious snow right up intil the the end of March but so far, so good, when it comes to this winter...

Oh yeah, lotta dead skunks on the side of the road... Sniff... which is a sure sign of spring...

We've had a beautiful snowy winter this year in Juneau, Alaska. Most of the last 10 years have brought more water than white so this is lovely.

Nothing poking through the snow yet.

actually did have a sign of spring the other day - a vixen in heat.
Two signs if you count the geese flying west. (they confuse easily)

I have a house! I have a front yard and a back yard for a garden. Before I even bought the place I ordered bulbs. I got them in the first Saturday in November, and now, my daffodils are peeking out of the ground, and I've seen the beginnings of crocuses. Of course the true sign of spring is the large stack of garden catalogs that have become my favorite light reading.
Anyone know anything about apple trees?

Loads. If you prune them to look nice, they don't fruit properly. If you prune them to friut properly, they don't look nice. It's a lot of %*^%&%^$% fun !!!

Last friday I saw about ten great tits (Parus major) hopping and fluttering through my plum tree, and I heard a blue tit (Parus caeruleus) twitter "whet the ploughshare" as it sounds to German kids' ears. So the peasants have to get ready for ploughing in March (there is a fine German song about it in Germany).
But tonight a light snow has fallen, and my garden seems to be clad in white.

More daffodils ready to burst into bloom tomorrow to join their solitary representative. Weeds are getting tall fast. My next door neighbor mowed his weeds yesterday for the first time this year. I'm sunk if the neighbor on the other side also mows. I'll have to mow this weekend. The domino effect.

The dafs I planted 3 years ago never did come up. Maybe I'll try again next year.
