Where are you located? We normally don't see flowers until mid to late April. My and my dad would go to this one spot and pick a bunch of Lillys of the Valley. They had a nice smell that permeated the whole house.

Always something special about the first wildflowers of spring!

I believe the ground hog was right! I have had Robin's in my yard since December. First year I have seen them this early.

 

[MrTom]

Robins have been in our feeders all winter.

I’m 90 miles west of MrTom.

We’ve had (some) robins here year-round, for years.

I kept seeing them earlier and earlier in the spring… when I first saw one in January… the lightbulb finally went on!

We've got some wild flowers coming up around the yard, daffodils mostly.
I always judge the arrival of spring by the little juncos, or snow birds as they are sometimes called. I know it's spring when they leave the backyard for the deep woods.
