Spring tulips

Spring is coming! The weather finally warmed up these past few days. For the first time since November 19, 2008 the temperature here got above 50 F. Woo hoo!

The snow is finally starting to melt and I can see areas of bare ground out in the hayfield.

And look here... within a few days of the snow melting, my tulips are starting to come up. It is been a matter of days between snow and the tulips. Kind of reminds me of seeing wildflowers coming up through the snow when hiking in the mountains. Summer here is short and there is no time to waste. So true.
