Spring has Sprung!

For at least a day or two :)

In honor of the first official day of Spring, I'm sharing pictures of the flowers in our garden! I know that most of you down south have had flowers for weeks, but this is our very first crop. And I couldn't be more excited about it!

 Thursday afternoon was so beautiful: the sun was shining, it was over 60degrees outside, and the flowers are starting to bloom! So I took my snack outside, got serenaded by this cute little guy in the picture above, and went town with my camera!
This little guy is in the back yard. When I came home today, there was nothing left of the flowers but the stems...apparently the squirrels like to eat them. Bad squirrels.
I'm pretty sure this cluster is in the front garden. All of the flowers I have pictures of from Thursday are of crocuses. They close up at night and open again every morning and I think they are phenomenal!
 The garden gnome is guarding these flowers against those mean squirrels. 

More pretty crocus flowers
 Today I came home from a weekend away and was suprised by the daffodils that started blooming while I was gone!

More crocus flowers...I love these 2 colors next to each other!


HAPPY SPRING!
