I know some got snow yesterday, as I have been up in Boston doing more pottery for a upcoming show and I had to scrap a couple inches off my car yesterday before driving to the studio, but according to DH we just had rain in Nantucket. We had our first Narcissus out before April 1, Rijnveld's Early Sensation, and several more clumps about to pop. Crocus by the zillion are out.

This is a photo that I took on Weds that is a hopeful sign that spring is here despite that white stuff. I love these as these kids do seem to take their name to heart and are shouting out Spring is Here!!!! They do look like a chatty little cheerful bunch when they open up. Love them, plus they are always early. They may open up today so I will miss they debut as I will not go back until tomorrow, but they will be out for a while.
