Spring is here! It is my favorite time of the year, watching new little plants poke up through the soil and leaves bud out on the trees. To be fair, we didn't really have winter this year. We had a total of 3-5 inches of snow total, and none of it stuck around. Spring is still exciting, though.
We have tons of crocuses this year, in purple, white, and yellow. Sarah likes to tell everyone about all of the crocuses.
The little pink guys are called glory-of-the-snow. There are lots more coming up, and they will be pink, lavender, and white.
We planted lots of daffodils last fall, and I totally forgot about these little ones. They bloomed well ahead of the big ones. Happy surprise!

We planted the irises last spring, but they were too late to bloom. These came from my grandparents' house, along with the poppies, and I can't wait for them to bloom.

In Sarah's words, "mommy & baby hollyhocks"

Clematis and the pussywillow tree, which is super fuzzy right now
This wallflower is supposedly not for our climate, but we decided to try it anyway. It really likes dry, well-drained soil (the opposite of our soggy clay), so Kelson made it a special sandy spot. We happened to plant it right next to the dryer vent, so it is in the warmest spot in the yard. It has been blooming non-stop since last June, including throughout the winter. Victory!
