Sign of Spring!

Hello, This is the first sign every year that I look for to let me know Spring is on the way :icon_thumleft:

Snowdrops pushing up through the leaves :icon_sunny:

You are lucky that is for sure! We are still snowed in and freezing here in Northern Ky.
I think I will find the camera and take a photo of the winter wonder land we have .

I feel for you and hope warm weather is on the way! Yesterday's high had a wind chill in the low 20's and today is supposed to get around 34. I know Spring's not here yet, but God let me see some light at the end of the tunnel :icon_sunny:

Take care! Paul :coffee2:

It's not far away, we will be around 7 above in the morning, but expected to hit 60 by next week. :icon_sunny:

I like pics like that at this time of year. If we had 34 above we would probably all fall over from heat stroke right now. As it is, I'm thankful when it's up in the teens.

That's kind of early for Pa., isn't it? I guess being in the leaves they are a little protected. I usually have them comming up too but no where in sight. They are frozen solid with 1/2 inch of ice

Those look good. We are knee deep in snow here too. It went down to 2 degrees below last night and only
supposed to be in the upper teens today, but in the mid 30's during the weekend. And it looks like next week
will be in the mid to upper 30's most of the week. That would be great to see.

After an unbelievable -19 in my driveway this morning, and a -27 when I crossed the creek bottom, it hit 31 beautiful degrees this afternoon, and it smells like spring! and it sounds like spring, the birds know it's coming and they are tuning up. :icon_thumleft:

As soon as the snow melts, there should be crocuses (crocii?) peeking out. funny that smell and sound are the first alerts. soon, you have to show pictures of the blooms pganjon.

Hi, You hit it right on the money, these where coming up from the leaves just under my ewe shrub :headbang:

Also my back yard faces due South and it is half way down from a hill and protected from most of the Northwest wind by a small stretch of woods :icon_thumleft:

Out front of my house is a different story, My tree's and shrub's bud out about 2 weeks later than most around my area because of cold North west winds that race down the hill. Thanks for reading :icon_sunny:

Great shot Paul. Even though it's much milder here (today was 41), I'm looking forward to mid 50s to mid 60s - nice and comfortable with cold enough nights to keep the creepy-crawlies at bay...
