Finally Spring

March 11 snowfall

 My daffodils had just bloomed three days ago when we got a light snowfall.  We had just had three wonderfully sunny days with temps in the 70's

The Next Day

Melting started immediately with temps hovering around 33 degrees, and the next morning the daffodils started recovering.

Daffodils fully recovered

It took a few days, but all the daffodils were finally standing up straight.  This photo was taken on March 21st, 10 days after the snowfall. And you can see the catmint plants emerging behind the daffodils.

Cherry Trees

There are four cherry trees on the side yard that just burst into bloom around the same time. All the cherry trees in the neighborhood are blooming also.

Pear trees

 At the same time the two pear trees in the back yard put out their blossoms.  It seemed everything bloomed right before the March 20th equinox.  We have had the coldest winter in years here as have a lot of other areas.  It has been so gray all winter, so it's wonderful to feel the warmth of the sun and see all the plants come to life.
