Spring Is Moving Ahead

After a steady rain on Saturday, the sun has returned and I've looked
around outdoors a little more. The Iris reticulata are in bloom, joining
the Galanthus that started blooming a week or two ago. Here and there,
crocuses are starting to open, and the first Narcissus has an open flower
today! The first few Trillium nivale are in bloom, a good three weeks
later than usual.

The temperature is about 55 F under sunny skies.
