Goodbye, winter. Today is the first day of meteorological spring. (Cue crowd cheering noise.) I have noticed a change in the weather over the past week or so. Although some days it failed to break freezing, the lows weren't as low as they had been a month ago. The sun is stronger and the days are longer.
The snow and ice don't stick around long anymore.
The migratory birds are starting to return, |

Yes, enjoy these warmer days. I covet your snow drops. Mine didn't return. Waaah!
Yippee! I am glad for you MMD! The snowdrops are so pretty~Like Dee, I don't have success with them. gail
So glad you are seeing longer days...soon, very soon!
The change will be WELCOME! :-) Many birds are singing these days. Nice post.
Imagine loud crowd noise, whistles, stomping, clapping, wooting! Hooray and thank goodness! There is a warmth in the sun that cannot be denied. Your snowdrops are pure heaven. I will be giving them a try this fall. Placement is everything. :-)

Oh my your snowdrops are showing! I am cheering right along with you. Not much melt here today but it is coming.
I can't wait! I don't have snowdrops unfortunately, but I'm already fighting the urge to look for signs of life, which would probably be premature yet.
Whoooo hooooooo. Don'tcha jus luv it?? Your header looks all springy too.
Love the new look of the blog! I'm so glad you're seeing signs of spring.It's proceeding at a frantic pace here!
Verification word is litizati: I'm sitting here saying it with an Italian accent in your honor!
Hip Hip Hurray, spring is on the way! Those frozen water gave me the chills...
My snowdrops are still buried. Glad to see yours blooming.
Love the new header and the snowdrops.

I don't have Snowdrops. But I'm expecting to see Crocuses soon. If you are seeing new growth in Chicago, it can't be too far off for southern Wisconsin! Woot!
Happy Spring to you, too! How lucky you are to have snowdrops blooming; I've never had any luck with them here. But there is a definite feeling of spring in the air, even if the garden is still sleeping.
So exciting!
Brrrrrrrrr - it may not be so cold here but I still don't think of it being spring until the arrival of the equinox :)
