Signs of Spring

[Larro Darro]

I was just walking the trash out to the road and noticed a couple of sloe trees blooming. There was one bee working the blooms. Couldn't get a good picture, but the last one was the best. Please post the signs of spring from your neck of the woods.

I don't want to discourage anybody. Any pics I could take today would be awfully white. We were well on the way to spring - looking for the first buttercups - then it snowed another 4-5 inches yesterday.

My Bradford Pear tree was in bloom last week. I didn't take photos, as I had too many other things I needed to get done, before I ran out of weekend. Bees were all over it though! I'll finish hoeing the garden this weekend, if I stay on plan, and will start planting seeds a week or two after that! My onions and garlic are all that is growing now.

There are some ants in the kitchen all huddled up trying to keep warm.

Same here.

Believe it or not, I saw a single robin sitting on the two feet of snow next to an apple that had hung on to the tree until very recently. Maybe the robin knocked it off. He didn't look very happy.

How tasty could freeze-dried rotten apple be?

Frost heaves are in full bloom and tons/cities have post road weight limits.

We had some green grass here, now it's all covered with snow.

all my grass is white, still have 2' of snow on it and it hasn't been warm enough to melt it.

The crocus are peaking...the daffodils are about to bust out and I saw a couple of violet blossoms today...

And the gobblers are strutting around is full display...!

We had mild temps last week, and my grass was greening up. Then it dropped 60 degrees in 24 hours and we got 4" of snow! I don't even know what to think at this point. Rumor of another possible winter storm on March 12 or so...

Yesterday morning I caught about 6 robins in the back yard with one claiming his territory eating the grass seed I put out last fall. We had another 12 degree night on Monday which is epic for this area

White grass you say? With two feet of snow atop it, how do you even know what color it is?

i saw some of my grass the other day,, while snowblowing a path to the shop. i tend to
get a little in the blower and it flies with the snow. but it's brown, and frozen. local
temps around here this am were 5-7 below 0. i did take the snowmobile for a ride last nite,
and conditions are about the best you can get. groomed, HARD packed trails and any/all
water spots are frozen over and out of sight for now. tomorrow we may go above freezing,
maybe Saturday too, it will feel good!
but no major warmup in the forecast, and Saturday the clocks go ahead already, that is going
to be weird with all the snow on the ground and having daylight till 7:30 at nite......

Peach tree was blooming, but then it snowed and everything turned to ice over the weekend.

Ouch, hopefully the ice insulated the bud...

Nice picture Eddy. Our pear trees are in full bloom. I know we will get more cold, so there is a good chance there won't be many pears this year.
