Eye Candy Friday
The first sign of spring has arrived at my house. There are crocuses in my yard!
Bring it on, baby!

Lovely - and because I can't see the stems/leaves they look like they're little hummingbirds hovering in the air!

So jealous! There aren't any croci (as my family lovingly calls them) here yet. Soon...

JEALOUS!

You are FIRST. Yippee! It's still sprinter here, as Margene so aptly called it.
Posted by: Laurie at March 7, 2008 7:28 AM
Yea! I love that first sign of spring.
Posted by: Beth at March 7, 2008 7:32 AM
YAY!! Spring can't get here fast enough for me.
Posted by: Karen at March 7, 2008 7:43 AM
I'm going out and look today to see if there is any sign of spring around here!

No fair :(

I'm jealous too! My bulbs are buried under about 2 feet of snow ;-(
Thanks for the picture.

Nothing that pretty here yet! I'm ready, though.
Posted by: Leslie at March 7, 2008 8:27 AM
Mine are blooming too...I'm SO ready!!

More than jealous!! This morning in Minneapolis it is 16 below zero. Below Zero!!! A crocus would not live more than 10 seconds here today. I miss New England...

Ack! It's -6F here right now!

Lucky devil. I don't think ours will come for at least a couple of weeks yet -- the yard is still half covered in snow.
Posted by: Lucia at March 7, 2008 9:01 AM
Amen, Sister!
Posted by: Barbara-Kay at March 7, 2008 9:07 AM
Dont rub it in... there are about 4 feet of snow in my front yard :-)
Actually I welcome your picture... a sign that spring really IS going to arrive this year, even if it will be June by the time it makes it's way up here.

You can't stop spring!

You know- I think the groundhog was wrong this year.
Yesterday I was driving around with the sunroof open. It was warm in my car. And if you stood in the sun, you could actually feel heat!
Hello, spring? Hurry!
Posted by: Sunflowerfairy at March 7, 2008 9:32 AM
Yay! This has been one long winter.
Posted by: Lynne at March 7, 2008 9:48 AM
Sprinter still here- birds are singing and snow still on the ground. No crocuses for me- mine were devoured 2 winters ago by voles. I've not replaced them yet with a cage of wire around them.

Hooray for spring!
Posted by: Hillary at March 7, 2008 9:53 AM
ooooohh yellow ones ! hurrah.
Posted by: Teyani at March 7, 2008 10:09 AM
At least SOMEONE has some! Lovely.
Posted by: Cheryl S. at March 7, 2008 10:13 AM
OMG! Lucky you! I haven't spotted any greenery at all yet.
Posted by: Beth S. at March 7, 2008 10:23 AM
Yay!
They remind me of baby birds sticking their little heads out of the nest waiting for momma/lunch.
Happy Weekend, Carole!

Happy Friday, happy spring!
Posted by: Carol at March 7, 2008 6:44 PM
oooooooo, i'm so jealous! we got crocus bulbs but never planted them :( ever since i lived in sweden i wanted them, because they're always the very first to poke their heads out through the snow and welcome the spring. lucky you! they're beautiful.
Posted by: heather at March 7, 2008 7:27 PM
Oh you are lucky! We've had so much snow, that if the crocuses have made it up yet, they're buried. Bring on the spring!
Posted by: Amanda at March 7, 2008 7:55 PM
Ah, aren't crocuses magical?
Posted by: theLady at March 7, 2008 8:30 PM
Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh my god, I'm so glad to hear this news.

What a beautiful sign of spring, and a beautiful photo. We still have snow here in MI, lots and lots of snow, so your picture brought a smile to my face, a great reminder of what's to come.
Posted by: Holly at March 8, 2008 6:58 AM
You have crocus, I have two feet of snow. Lovely photo, Carole, and LOVELY swap package from you came yesterday!!!! THANK YOU!
Posted by: Lynne at March 8, 2008 9:18 AM
