Before I know it the slate covered juncos will be gone. There is a reason they are, also, called “snow” birds. The snow will melt, the temperatures will rise and they they will migrate North and will not return till next year. I keep checking the ten day forecast and temperatures will hit the forties in a few days and gradually rise and spring will be here–now only three weeks away. Last I checked the daffodils were not poking their head out of the ground but I have not looked in a week. The blooming of the crocus and primrose are not far away and then I will have to make daily inspections for the next sign of spring. Spring is a time of rebirth.

Spring is a day away. It has been abnormally cold. Maybe, that is why there has been no evidence of crocuses–one of the first flowers of spring. The daffodils are coming up–now only an inch high. I really am tired of the cold. Along with other people. The next few days are going to be in the fifties.

Spring is on its way. I heard someone in the bank say, ‘Today is going to be the hottest day of the year.’ I keep checking the bed of daffodils on the side of the house. Today a third clump was peeking its way through the earth. I still see no sign of the crocuses in our yard. The ten day weather forecast indicates we will get some more cold temperatures but the end of the winter is in sight.

I was excited because I saw four or five singles crocuses inches from the clump I planted last year. I was told they would spread. I noticed the flowers were a little deeper purple than they were in the bed I planted. I just wondered how the new crocuses spread. Was it from seeds or do the roots spread. This discovery I only noticed today. The bed of crocuses have been blooming over a week. It is exciting to see what discovery I will make next in our garden.

The purple crocuses are still blooming. They last a long time although they are not open the whole day depending on the daylight. The yellow primrose are the only other flowers blooming. For the second year in a row they made it through the whole winter. I checked on our daffodils. They are not blooming yet. Other flowers are coming up like the hyacinth and tulip and I am sure there will be others. It is exciting to walk around our land and see what is coming next. I once had a teacher who had lived in Hawaii and did not understand what spring meant to others until she moved here. Spring is always an reawakening of the earth here.
