First Signs of Spring

I know it's early to be looking for signs of spring, but I'm a bit eager. It's been a long, long winter, so I've been scratching around to see what's poking it's head out. Today I snapped this photo of some of our daffodils making their first appearance. They are one of the first things to bloom. Crocuses usually bloom before daffodils, but I don't have any of those planted. Note to myself to plant some this fall. Spring must be right around the corner, and I plan to be out each day looking for it, weather permitting.

The universe doesn't know what season it's supposed to be. We'll have spring-like weather, followed by drops in the cold. It's only January, and according to the calendar, we have a month-and-half left.

If you ask my husband, it could be summer year-round. And, he'd be happy.@pjmurphy

In Tennessee, we have warm spells, with temps in the 40's and 50's, with some cold spells mixed in, but spying is not far away.

Winter is still going on here, but we had very warm days before this snow, so it looked more like spring.

Technically, it's still winter here, but we're having some spring-like days.

It will be here soon enough. I looked at the extended forecast Feb. is supposed to be warm so spring will probably come busting out all over. Personally, I can wait. I hate hot weather.

Well, it's really still winter here, so we'll get more cold weather yet.

It's quite exciting to see the first shoots appear. Hope there are many more to come.

It's still a little while until ours are blooming, but seeing these shoots gives me hope.

Spring still seems a long way off to me - we have a bit of snow here.

We've had snow since I made that picture, but the daffodils still have their heads up.

There are still two months until spring. I'm still waiting for winter. I'm getting it this weekend. Enjoy your daffodils.

I suspect we'll see a little more of winter before the daffodils actually bloom.

We've been hit with our worst winter storm for some time with a deep freeze here also, but next week the predictions are for 50 degree weather again. Once the snow and ice is gone, I'll bet the daffodil shoots will still be there.

It has been a very mild winter here. It usually starts warming up around April, so we are still a little ways away. But it can't get here soon enough. I hate winter.

I don't hate winter, but I'm always ready for it to end.

@pjmurphy It would be nice if I could just be retired and go to warmer places during the winter.

@pjmurphy That's a good expectation. Hope it will. Last year we were unaware that March would be the start of people's misery.
