No matter that it's the middle of February - the flowers say it's spring.

Apparently it's the amount of light, not the time of year. This rhody is in full bloom in Richmond Beach. I have the same variety in central Shoreline and the buds aren't even showing color.

I have jonquils that sent up green shoots before the snow. They took a break during the snow and cold weather but now the green shoots are a foot high.

Spring is coming. What's that phrase? The harbinger of spring. I always thought that harbinger was an ugly sounding word for such a lovely concept.
