    Was walking around the yard and saw signs of spring. The wild rose has leaves starting to sprout and the wild raspberry has leaf buds. The dafs and jonquels have buds on them so it won't be long now!

    Your Daffodils have buds? Lucky you. :) Our plants are too far below in the snow and they do not have snow shovels. However the Forsythias are getting yellower, they don't need shovels. :)
