Remember these tiny miniature red tulips from yesterdays blog? 
Well this is what they looked like today when the sun was out bright and it was 80 degrees. I had estimated about 14, today I actually counted them and there are 26 tulips on this one bush. Some are really much bigger then other years too, about the size of a cup! I guess that comes from lots of moisture and a snow packed winter.
A closer up picture so you can see how big they are.
I saw this big bumble bee today. I know that's a sign that spring is here.
These are a very early blooming ground cover, Vinca Minor, It grows just about anywhere. It only gets about 6 inch's tall and has royal purple flowers for at least a month in spring.
My Grandma Rose (because it is a shoot from my grandmothers original pink rose bush) is getting new spring leaves. A great sign of spring.
The tiny grape Hyacinths are coming out by leaps and bounds.
Everyone knows what this is! Yep, a fresh mown lawn, the first cutting and you all know that fresh incomparable new mown lawn smell!
I just had to include this picture. Just like a little child when you tell them to get out of the way. He just had to turn back and get in my new-mown-lawn picture. Look at that GUILTY look on his face.
I finished the lawn just in time, see those rain clouds on their way?
And my cat needed some attention too and did pose for this picture.
