Look at these little babies poking through the cold earth, on their way up and out. Spring is late, we are still getting frost in the mornings, but the bulbs will not be denied! And, after a cold weekend and yet another dusting of snow, I am going out on a limb here, and predicting the arrival of Spring. Yahoo! The weather people are full of "shoulds" - as in, it should be 15 degrees, and it is only 2 degrees - all due to a stubborn high pressure system that is laying cold across the prairies. But today - Ah, today we are enjoying sun with actual heat in it that warmed my back as I walked the river path. Libby had to dunk herself into the water at the edge of the river. She happened to be carrying her ball at the time of the impulse and in the excitement of getting wet, dropped the ball into the water. We watched it bob downstream and then turned our backs on it and found a stick and some rocks to throw.
The river ice is melting. We stay close to shore where walking is safe and the water is shallow.
If this lovely spring-like weather keeps going, I will get out the pruners and go to work on the bushes. It is easier to see the shapes of things before the leaves bud out.
