Alright Already -- Enough!

I'm sure that you're thinking "not again"!
If so, i don't care!
Yesterday by mid morning the temp was 51F! And a major snow melt was in progress!
And those first thoughts of "CROCUSES" came racing through...
For me, this is the first harbinger that Spring is around the corner and winter is waning! You can have all the groundhogs you want or buckeye bobs (ohio's lame whatever version). But, it was always Mrs.Klings crocuses that meant spring was near. The days are getting longer, pitchers and catchers report in a couple weeks! This surely doesn't mean that we have seen the end of cold and snow, but it does mean that golfing can't be far behind!

So.....
I put my shoes on and went out front and walked around the tree!



And there it was!!!!
The first brave sentinel to poke its little green head up! A single bulb that the frost worked to the surface!



From here on in, its nothing but good! the daffodils and hyacinths will not be far behind and you can bet that i'll have pictures of them too!
