I can hardly wait Esther!!  Ken and Maddie were over last night and he spotted a couple things popping up.  I should have spring flowers soon too!  Actually up until yesterday we couldn't even see any grass yet!   :'(

Do you have any early bulbs planted? The tulips and daffodils are coming up on the west side of the house. It's probably some protected by the house and gets the hot afternoon sun, what there is of it so far.

Yes Esther I do have early ones.  I tried to have a variety planted to where things are blooming at different times.  So far I think I have done pretty good.  I noticed that a few of my tulips that get the most sun are just barely peaking through the mulch.  My daffodils are up about an inch and my iris' are up about 3 inches already.  I have mini crocus' and mini iris' and those will be blooming within a week I bet.  I also have some hyacinth, which I just love!!  I think I have some other things too, but I can't remember now.

Wow Jerry. That would be a treat to have in my yard. I don't do roses very well here. I do have some of those carpet roses though that seem to do OK.

Jerry,
  You are feeding my addiction ;) I've wanted a Lady Banks Rose forever. I love yellow flowers.  8-)~ I just don't do climbing roses very well. Too much shade and not enough places to grow them up on to. I have one sunny spot that I'm going to try the new Rainbow Knock Rose. It's promised to be easy and resistant to all things known to kill roses. Hopefully that includes me!
Beautiful pictures..love the yellow crocus Esther.  o(:-)

Wow, those flowers are so, so, so, blue! I love that color.

Very warm here the past few days, in the low 80's, now is raining and supposed to drop into the 40's. I do so love spring, but hate the teasers.
