Wow! these are all so beautiful. It really makes me hungry for spring. Just going through this thread and catching up has made me feel warmer. We're having a warmer day today, 24 degrees right now, no sunshine but no wind either which is a blessing. We had to drive through a 1/4 mile stretch of 5' drift yesterday (it had been bladed open of course) to get to my in-law's farm for a late Christmas. It looked so funny to see the tops of the caution signs peaking out of the snowdrift. This is supposed to be the warmest day of the next 7 so I really need your pictures to help me through!

Pirl, in the very top picture, what is the deeper pink up against the house? It's really beautiful as is the rest of your garden. I agree with Sharon on being thankful for Mr. Tidy. My DH is wonderful, but has to be reminded that trash cans are not following him around, he has to find them.

I've not been good about taking pictures and am resolved to do better. I've received a lovely new scrapbook that I may reserve for nothing but garden, and try to be really good about labeling what I photograph. Good resolution for the New Year anyway.

Here are a few spring bulbs.
