Spring Begins

We have had a warmer than normal February and March, and it's time to look for the first signs of spring.

 Here is the first crocus.  Always a happy sign of new beginnings.

The snowdrops are on the north side of a boulder, so they are never our first flower.

It's a beautiful day to let the girls (and one boy) out to play.

They love scratching in the leaf litter.

D has started apple trees from apple seeds.

It's a gamble.  Who knows what they will be like.
