| The snow we had the first week of March. |
 |
| The snow took its time retreating because of the bitterly cold temps. Eight degrees one morning on our thermometer! So I went out and bought myself some tulips at the grocery store. |
 | |
| Now after four days at or near 60 degrees, the snow is gone, and the crocus seemed to instantly appear. |
 |
| The tulips whose tips had just emerged at the end of January have stared growing with the warm temperatures. |
 |
| My exploration of the backyard garden sans snow revealed the first green leaves of the primrose. |
 |
| In the backyard garden I also found the first hellebore blossom. |
 |
| After all the snow and ice storms, the nandina bush has lost a lot of leaves and is looking kind of shabby. |
 |
| Poking around the front garden I found a hyacinth emerging just in time for the first day of spring this coming Friday. |
