Some of my favorite bloggers have been writing about the blooming things in their yards, discussing garden plans and what they've recently planted.  There are pictures of fluffy pink tree blossoms and bright green sprouts poking through the dirt... 

Thought I'd share how my Spring garden is progressing:

Directly underneath the pile of snow are all my early bloomers...Crocus, Daffodils, Paper Whites, Bleeding Hearts.  

I'm trying really hard not to complain, as we've been in a long drought and need the precipitation.  And because my husband is in the snowmobile industry; therefore it isn't so nice for me to complain about the snow.  

So I sit here waiting for the big thaw - not complaining - but stating that I'm really really really anxious to get my fingers and toes in the dirt, to have the windows wide open, to sit on the porch swing, to put away the heavy coats and boots, to go for long walks with the dog, and to see some blooming things in my yard too.
