Almost Spring

A little while back I posted a photo of our first daffodil of the year.  I mentioned we have a bunch of sprouts, but it was the “lone ranger”.  Well, some of its neighbors have come out as well.  Here’s two shots of them…
First, is the wide view…
Note the wet cement…  It is raining (again), today.  We had the wettest February in quite a few years.  We are currently at the start of another “atmospheric river” and expecting several days (and inches) of rainfall.
Here’s the “long” view – down the front of the house, from the front door towards the car port.
As mentioned in the prior post, my better half planted several dozen daffodils here and more in the actual front yard (as well as the back yard).  The one’s in the front haven’t really even come up yet.  The back have sprouted, but not bloomed.  We don’t know what the end result will be because the heavy rain and (at times) hail has given loads of our plants quite a beating.  The fruit tree blossoms (cherry and plum), in particular, are now almost bare.  So, we just have to wait and see…

If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other.  If you do not talk to them you will not know them and what you do not know, you will fear.  What one fears, one destroys.
