First Signs of Spring!!

We officially have the very first signs of spring. Notice that Bex is still bundled up because it is still cold BUT, we saw the first flowers popping out of the ground. Bex got so excited that he had to get down really low and smell them. Apparently these little buggers are called Croci!! Funny name- but I couldn't be happy to see them. I know that I shouldn't really complain when my family is in Alaska (although they did just get back from Maui) but it has felt like a long winter here in CT. March is supposed to enter like a lion and leave like a lamb- there hasn't been a lamb in sight!!
