Daffodils in our yard came up about 9", got covered with 6" of snow and ice. Got another 2" of snow on them again late this afternoon. At least four years since we saw any blooming flowers.

There went the evidence.

Not to worry, they like goats too. ;D

No accounting for taste.

First week of January I told my wife it was only 4 weeks until spring and that it had not been a bad winter........ guess I did not knock on wood hard enough. More snow coming tomorrow.

Well, let's look on the bright side; I haven't been bitten by a mosquito in months.

Yep, Spring is here in Central Illinois. 4" on ground, 3-6" promised for Sunday.

scleigh · February 26, 2015, 12:54:41 PM

Not much going on here. For the past month, the logs have been frozen on the days I could saw, or we've had snow or ice.

woke up to 5" this morning

No work today, but did get to play with the kids

Roger2561 · February 26, 2015, 01:35:19 PM

A friend of mine sent me an email stating that by Monday will be the end of the subzero temps so this global warming thing should be coming to end soon. Roger

MrPete · February 26, 2015, 04:54:11 PM

Been working in Philly on night shift. Last night we had a heat wave! It was all the way up to 11 degrees!!!! Please don't talk to me about spring, it's so depressing!! ;)

mesquite buckeye · February 26, 2015, 06:02:13 PM

Pincushion cactus. Smells nice too. ;D

mesquite buckeye · March 04, 2015, 03:00:07 PM

Mexican goldpoppies have started blooming. Took this one while milling mesquite. Haven't had time to go take wildflower pictures. Look for the bright yellow line at the top of the hill. ;D

mesquite buckeye · March 09, 2015, 10:56:40 AM

Carpets of poppies from 1/2 mile.

I have never had this kind of snow in my yard before. Usually there is only a inch or 2 in my front yard this time of the year and the crocuses are starting to peep through. Today I started digging drainage ditches through the 4 feet of snow in my yard to provide a place for the water to run in when the snow melts. I just hope spring doesn't come to quick this year and flood everything out.

curdog · March 10, 2015, 07:49:18 PM

Alot of daffodils blooming and saw some trillium starting to poke it's leaves out today as well. Also saw my first snakes of the year, a den of garters must have needed to stretch a little today. There was 4 of them within 10-15 feet of each other. Won't be long until the trees start leafing out.
