Another Spring first

I saw my first Spring butterfly today.  A lovely velvet brown Mourning Cloak flying from a pile of leaf debris.  The temperatures for the last three days have been around sixty degrees.  A taste of Spring.  The garden is filled with snowdrops.  I should be seeing honey bees, soon

Season's firsts

The snow has melted enough that today I saw my first blooming snowdrop of the season.

Snowdrop Blooms

The garden is filled with snowdrops.  The warm days have melted more snow, awaking these lovely white and green pendulum blooms.
