    Many of you have listened to me whine that sping would never come and all I had was snow. Today the high was 70 degrees and when I walked around the house I found these. No more whining from me.

    Your photos remind me of a poem I learned as a kid :D

    The Miracle Of Spring
    ~ Piet Hein ~

    We glibly talk of nature's laws,
    but do things have a natural cause?

    Black earth becoming yellow crocus
    is undiluted hocus-pocus.

    Pretty pictures Polly. Seeing color return to the garden, finally, is a joy isn't it.

    I love that poem Zuzu.
