Spring is Springing to Life!

I love spring blooms!  We had 6" of snow on Friday, but today it's sunny and beautiful.  The Weeping Cherry tree right by our front door is flowering like crazy.

The daffodils are a welcome sight when not much else has come to life again yet in the area along the driveway.

I love the tiny grape hyacinth and anemones.

I'm thinking that these tracks that I found this morning are not from the Easter Bunny...  That's a big reason why I don't plant tulips.  Deer love tulips!

With the nicer weather, I'm happy to be able to plant flowers by the front door; although I think deer like pansies too. I hope having them so close to the front door will deter them from munching on the blooms.

Thanks for your visit.  Happy Easter and Happy Spring!

Spring has Sprung and My First Giveaway

I was so excited to see my daffodils blooming yesterday! Finally!! 

I'd say that over half of them are blooming!

Here's what it looked like just a few days ago:

And today?  The whole area is covered in 6" of snow!!  UGH!!!  (Sorry, no picture of the snow.  I don't want to know just yet if the blooms are damaged...)
