Spring is coming!!!!

Not just green, but a sure sign of spring when the redbuds bloom.

No green here. it's snowing. From several years ago.

Shamrocks.

Margareret O'Haira

Love that, maire_cate!

Some from Ireland too:

Rob, I was glad I took photos of the crocuses yesterday as this morning they were gone. The only clue left behind were hoof prints. Deer got 'em.

Maire_cate, both are beautiful photos. My fave is the first - love the mist/fog rolling over the hills.

Dawn - Thank you!

That's a shame the deer got to your crocuses. I tried to intersperse hyacinths and crocuses - it helped a little - but they did eat all of my neighbor's.

:(

Drat them! Ironically, I sprayed the garden last night thinking about how I didn't want the pansies and crocuses to disappear. Deer, I love to see them, I hate to see their results.

We stake out ivory soap bars by the plants the deer want to eat, and they leave them alone...something about the smell. I've also heard Irish Spring works too.

that will be next when this one quits (all deterrents do over time, I hear)

In the bottom left of Dawn's pine cone photo there might be a 4-leaf clover.
