One Week Later

These little flowers emerged from what had been over a foot of snow not seven days earlier!


Now it is snowing again--a nice top-off to a several days of rain and flooding. I'm sure the frogs and locusts are on the way...

I know there's a lawn under there somewhere. I do hope all the sprouting bulbs are tough enough to bloom once this snow melts! Of course, it is hard to see the depth of the snow, but that blue globe is on a stand that is about a foot tall. And there is a bird bath on the ground between the two lanterns.
Thank God the lawn service also plows snow!

Finally, the long gloom of February is over! With the strange weather we've been having, some of my bulbs are already coming out. A couple of crocuses, and a whole row of tulips. Hopefully the tulips will survive the return to winter that we've been promised starting tonight...
