Spring is coming. All of the Croci are now in bloom. The Crocus vernus 'Jeanne d'Arc' started blooming on April 01 and the Crocus sieberi sublimus 'Tricolor' began blooming today (April 02).

Rain turned to snow overnight and I had a little bit on my windshield this morning. There is a little bit of snow left in the highest, shadiest spot on our farm, but it won't last more than a couple of days. If we have three more days with any snow cover we will have exceded last year's total by a third.
