Almost Spring!

I went peeking around the front flower bed yesterday. It was actually warm for once. Ok...not warm-warm but not freezing cold where I had to bundle up with a gazillion layers before venturing outside. So it was WARM! I was waiting for Mrs. C's soap opera to finish so we could go walking so I was outside soaking up some rays of Vitamin D. I saw this...


This week's going to be a teaser because Winter isn't finished yet. The temperatures are going to be in the mid to high 50s! But knowing New Mexico's temperamental weather, we usually get hit with one last winter storm that's full of freezing temperatures and heavy snow right around Easter. 

But right now, I'm enjoying watching more daffodils and tulips pop through the soil. I have more this year than last year. I'm excited because I don't know what colors will be emerging!
I'm telling you--hang in there! Spring's almost here!

  4. You are right. Here the birds are singing in the morning again...that is a sure sign that spring will be here soon...but you are right...after another storm or two!

  5. Even here (Houston) it's been pretty chilly - I think I've had a touch of seasonal affective disorder, from the way I've been craving getting out in the sunlight lately. The chilly weather won't last long, though!

  6. I've been catching up on my blog reading this morning (been gone for 3 days) and lots of bloggers have mentioned seeing signs of Spring. Do you think they're as excited about Spring as we are?
