We still have about 3 inches of snow on the ground, but there are a few subtle signs of spring around. The sun, when it's visible through the clouds, has a lot more heat to it than it did a month ago. The bare limbs of the Mock Orange have also started to turn a reddish color. Always a sign that the sap has started to move up the stems. No leaf buds yet, but they should start in a couple of weeks.
Well I have snowdrops in flower somewhere under the snow but not much else. My daffs, crocus and other bulbs are coming along nicely but no sign of buds just yet.
Lots of snow here too. We are expecting more today, and again tomorrow. But at least the sun is shining and the days are getting longer again.
Just saw a new sign of spring! We had a herd of 18 deer in the field next to us. They were running around chaseing each other and just playing in the snow. I think they have Spring Fever! Couldn't get a pic of them, they were too far away.
That's great Capt! I have noticed a lot of animal tracks in the snow again ... they are on the move! I didn't really think of this as a sign of spring until just now ...
We have tons of snow still & more expected today, tomorrow & Monday. BUT the days are getting longer. I know my perennials & bulbs are safely tucked up in their beds awaiting the first warmth of spring.....And then they will JUMP out of their beds!
