Well, I went out for a “do-over” this morning. Here are some of the results…

First off, some pretty white and blue but, unidentified flowers. These are some of the ones I tried to take yesterday but they were just blowing in the wind way too much. Today was a bit calmer but there was still just enough of a breeze to make things difficult.

This is another blue and yellow primrose

The pink primrose has made some progress since yesterday.

I’m not sure what this is… Hyacinth?

Here’s another view of it.

Tomorrow’s supposed to be nice too. Might have to do another progress check.

After some pretty nasty storms over the weekend that brought us rain, sleet and snow along with high winds and un-April-like-temperatures, today was finally sunny and warmish — although still about 10°F below normal. I took advantage of the weather to check out our garden where I found that a few plants and flowers have decided to come out of hiding as well.

We’ve had snowdrops up since March but, most of the time, they’ve been huddled up, braving the snow around them. They look much better now.

Primroses are starting to push the mulch aside to bask in the sunlight…

We have yellow crocuses…

And purple ones as well getting ready to open up.

Even some hyacinths, including this tiny one, are starting to bud.

This purple crocus seems to be a bit shy.

Another purple crocus

A splash of purple.

The forecast calls for a gradual warming trend over the week, with mid-60’s by mid-week. Maybe old man winter has had his last gasp now. Of course, in Minnesota, you never quite know.
