I think spring is my favorite season.

12. The snow continues to fall

here in Montana and will for a while yet. Sigh

"No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn." -Hal Borland

I try to remember this quote during these dark days, my friends.

[2naSalit]

14. Yup...

I'm in Montana too but in a windy valley where there isn't all that much accumulation. If there is a bit of snow, we got about 14 inches about a week ago but it all blew away within a few days. We got 8 inches yesterday and it's half melted already.

I'm new to this area, much lower elevation here so much less winter than I am used to... the transition from approximately 7,000ft to just a tad over 5,000ft is more significant than many might imagine.

16. I didn't know we were neighbors!!

I like knowing who my fellow blue dots are in our big red state. It'll be a while before we see those crocuses poking through the grass. I haven't seen grass since Halloween!

[2naSalit]

17. We have had green stuff outsid most of the time

and today, it's warm and snow is melting, I was out brushing the horse and I saw green grass growing around the fence posts. It will be spring here sooner than much of the state as I'm in the southern band of the state.

9. Beautiful

A humble request - daffodils next. They are the happiest flower - and seem to shout to the skies, "Spring is here, and it is going to be FUN!"

11. Thank you, Mira, for this much-needed beauty break.

One needs to stop and smell the flowers, especially at times like these.

[Callalily]

19. Oh those are lovely!

Nothing is going to pop-out soon here. As I'm typing this temp is 3 and chill factor is -14. Oy vey!

[CottonBear]

20. Those are such a lovely light purple color!

We have pansies, daffodils, paperwhite narcissus, camellias and star magnolias blooming here in the Southeast. I hope there's not a hard freeze. It's been so warm and wet that flower buds are bursting out every where!

21. SO nice, NO WAY I can compete, but

DID go back out into a cold breeze to capture these:



Before I left home for a week, to do a few things in the suburbs, I spoke to 'my' crocus patch, in case it needed reminding that it's TIME!
