Later that same day . . .

I went out into the yard as soon as I got home today once more searching for signs of spring bulbs. This time I found them. There are crocuses coming up by the shed door and daffodils in the abandoned garden. I did a little happy dance. But I also noted that I need to plant more snowdrops. They are normally the first bulbs to come up. I have never had much luck growing them. Perhaps I just need to find a spot they like. There are some lovely ones that have some green in the blossoms in a catalog. They would be perfect for the green garden. The hellebores are looking much happier but no signs of blossoms yet.
