A daffodil! Spring's on it's way!

When?

(Stares gloomily out the window; everything under ice and snow right now!)

 

[Becky]

Wow, you've got daffodils already! Guess it might not be too much longer before we have them up here then

My rhubarb's sprouting nicely, but the over-wintered onions are still dormant.

It will come @Beth_B, I've had snow here today but it didn't settle. Us gardeners are too impatient for our own good.

How Mine are weeks away

If it's any consolation @Daren, it also depends on whether your particular daffs are early or late bloomers. Some of mine didn't bloom until early April.

Zigs thanks for giving us a little spring before we dumped on with over a foot of snow, I did get to see a bit of my garden to day and my peony trees are looking good.

Love those snowdrops @zigs! Is that winter aconite in the second photo?

Beautiful pictures, @zigs and @Esther Knapicius!! Thank you for their beauty, but I admit to being quite jealous of both of you!! If it has to be gray and gloomy and everything all brown - can I at least have some snow?! It's only snowed twice this year, both times only enough to stick in the grass. It used to snow in Ohio, I swear it did!!

Seriously...It was 12 degrees yesterday with blowing snow, back into the 40s for the weekend.
I did manage a quick shot of this mornings sunrise, over the oh-so-scenic motor home in my neighbor's yard.

Flurries of snow this morning, feels like someone left the door open in Norway

Welcome back @MaryMary

It's good to be back!!

It was 12 degrees yesterday with blowing snow, back into the 40s for the weekend.

Same here, just a little warmer. Woke up yesterday morning, it was 18°F, this morning it was 48°F. Beautiful sunrise, by the way!!

I've done a little poking around, and learned that for the month of January, our (well, Columbus, Ohio) highest high was 67°, and our lowest low was 7°. We had 6 days that never got above freezing, but we also had 6 days over 60°. We've got a new warmest average temperature for the month of January, 43°.

I wonder if I'm in zone 7 yet? I guess I'll know if the gladiolas come back.

I decided on a new avatar. (I love to change my avatar!! )

@MaryMary, i'd be glad to hold the beer.

@zigs tell Norway to put the toilet seat down and close the door. Here we get that from Canada from time to time and we have to call Civil Protection Services. They tell us to put on our mittens. Are we supposed to know what "mittens" are?

Lol @ your avatar, MaryMary. Same could be said for Michigan, and Colorado's Front Range, where I used to live.

Lovely flowers, zigs!
