It's snowing like crazy here in SE PA, and this is supposedly just the warm up for tomorrow.

Yes, these are all blooming even as we speak. I took these photos today when I was out doing some errands.

I am sorry your Spring is delayed. Let's hope she won't tarry too long!

Last year the flowers were tricked into poking their heads out too soon and the most susceptible ones were killed by the late frosts. Patience will be rewarded!

I know you live in the South, but you'd never think so, what with all the snow you've had!

You're getting a lot more snow than I am!

I hope it will soon be over and back to whatever passes for normal.

Thanks for sharing. I haven't seen much spring here and was busy moving Monday/Tuesday. Today there are supposed to be snow showers in Raleigh! I have to go meet with the accountant who is doing my taxes this year before I drive back for my last week at the beach rental house where I've been since November and then Snowy and I will finally move into this apartment in Raleigh. Usually I would have taxes done by now, but with computer hassles and the separation I decided to just let someone else do it for me this year!

I can't wait to see and feel some real Spring!

I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Your life sounds a bit busy but I think you will come out the other side in good shape!

Enjoy your Spring, whenever it gets there!
