Spring Comes to a Neighbor's Yard

With camera in hand I walked to my neighbors, where, if there were any signs of spring, their yard would be the first to show that Spring was surely on its way.  I wasn't disappointed.  The snowdrops were in full bloom, along with a few crocus.  Believe me, this was a sight for sore, tired, winter weary eyes.  On my hands and knees, flat on my belly you could find me joyfully taking these pictures. 





As I walked toward the blooming snowdrops I passed by another neighbor's tree that just happened to have Mr. Robin perched quite nicely among the left-over dried red berries.


 Guess who else is glad it's spring.  Toby loves to spend the entire day outside when the weather begins to warm up.


And one more, oh I shouldn't say one more, I have dozens more, but one more TODAY of the ranunculus.

  1. I cannot get over the vibrancy of that robin! Puts ours to shame. Toby looks more than ready for a good romp out in the sunshine. What a cutie.

  2. I want some ranunculus, I want some really bad. You have some beautiful snippets of Spring going on here. We are supposed to have a lovely day, so of course, we will be heading to Ohio where the temperatures are predicted to be at least 10 degrees colder. Sometimes I am my own worst enemy.

    Deanna, have a Spring filled happy weekend.

  6. I love little snow drops, one of the best things in Spring as far as I think. Wish we could grow them in AZ.
