Can you tell that I’m happy that Spring has finally arrived? Ok, so it’s felt like Spring here pretty much since mid-February with the exception of a few very cold days here and there, but now it’s actually starting to look like Spring outdoors.

I just spotted my first crocus in my lawn earlier today. That, to me, is always my first true sign that Spring has truly arrived.

I used to have snowdrops in my garden as well, but they’ve either died out or they are blooming under the leaves that cover my garden beds. LOL However I do know that there are Snowdrops blooming in the area because my husband spotted some earlier today while out walking the dog.

My chives are also up and several of my other plants appear to be coming back to life as they are greening up and developing leaf buds.

Hmmm … I wonder if Raccoons like chives? I’ve spotted a raccoon in our backyard several times over the last week (the back yard security light goes on whenever there’s movement out there), and the raccoon is always near the Chives and where the first crocus has come up whenever I see it. Of course I scare it out of the yard … but I wonder if it’s nibbled on the chives?

I guess it won’t be long now before flowers like these tiny irises, hyacinth, muscari, tulips and other plants start to make an appearance!

I think I might do a little yardwork today if I can get this pesky high fever I have to go down.

Here in Green Bay we got two inches of snow on the first day of spring. It melt the next day though. I too am ready for spring. I just planted my tomatoes in starter cups, cucumbers too. I can’t wait to get out and plant my peas and radishes. I LOVE spring.

I always know it’s Spring here in Indiana when the daffodils start to pop up. What’s odd is that my wife and I and some friends did a total yard makeover last year. And in the process, we dug up everything that was growing, daffodils and all. However, we have daffodils this year! Did we miss them when we were digging or what? lol
