I don't remember what all I planted last fall, but I think this must be a crocus; please correct me if I'm wrong. The snow melted and there it was, a bright spot in a soggy yard. It's such a tiny little thing, it's a wonder I didn't miss it completely.
The tulips have all emerged; I hope they wait to bloom until April, when my friend Joanna is here.
The temperature is 52 at 4 P.M., so I took my baby tomato plants out for a walk and left them in the sun for awhile. They'll get another breath of fresh air tomorrow, when it's supposed to get up into the sixties. Maybe they won't look so pale after some sunshine.
OK, maybe you can't call them plants yet, just germinated seeds. But still, it means there's life there. (Click on the picture if you have trouble seeing the seedlings.)
One thing I neglected to mention in my entry last night was the actual spring-like weather we had yesterday: The sun was shining and temperatures got up around fifty, I think. There was a pretty stiff breeze, so it still felt coolish. But it was the best weather day we've had since sometime in November, or maybe even before that. Today it's overcast and rain is headed our way soon; but the temperature is still more like it should be this time of year. Today is the first time in ages that the ground hasn't been frozen solid when I went out to do morning chores. There are better days ahead, folks!
