Signs of Spring

Our neighbor told us that her bees have already awoke from their winter hibernation, causing her to need to feed them honey to hold them over until the flowers bloom. What signs of spring are you seeing in your neck of the woods?

We are about two weeks ahead of schedule here at the farm when it comes to natural signs of spring. The crocuses have come and gone, even though they were in bloom last year at this time. We are enjoying the colorful sights and fragrant scents of the flowers around us.

I love the white daffodils with orange centers.

Our forsythia is so cheery. Check out my sweet garden clogs:

This ornamental weeping cherry is one of the most beautiful plants on our farm:

This one isn’t so bad either! Rouge seems to like it:
