Snowdrops fading, daffodils soon...

Yesterday I photographed the snowdrops at my sister's quick before they're gone. Maybe tomorrow there will be daffodil buds opening next door. Actually there is a camera challenge to photograph three or any odd number of things. It was interesting to move in close on the snowdrops where I got a picture of five blooms.

First Flowers Make It Look Like Spring

We were outside a bit today enjoying the absence of snow (well, except bits where it was piled up) and some sun. It is windy and in the 50s very like a day in March. We heard a House Finch singing and saw the House Sparrows continuing their interest in a bird house. Then I realized there was a crocus in bloom next door! Turns out more were open in the grass too. They sure weren't visible two days ago. With that I thought to go down the street where a neighbor has winter aconite. It was in bloom along with a few snowdrops. What a wonderful feeling to have things look so much like spring! We know it won't last, but this is the first real break we've had since the end of November.
