Not sure which bulbs they are, but they're in my little garden. I discovered them after a nice hour walk in the sunshine.

I put on a short sleeved shirt just to pretend ;D

Man.....the curse of the clean vehicle. Last time I did a complete job on my car it snowed for a week. I left it in the garage and drove the truck :-\

Just looked at the 7 day forcast. They are calling for 3-6 inches of snow on saturday by me. We still have over 3 feet of  snow on the ground. I just shoveled out my picnic table in the back yard this afternoon. Next will be the fire ring!

I started snowblowing my front lawn. Tough work. The snow is over 3 feet deep.  I did get a path cleared to my flag pole.

Usually us SD guys are in the same situation, but this week we have 70 degrees for as far out as they can predict. Ice fishing is over, time to get the boat out.

Going quick around me. Thank heavens the ground is still frozen. Lots of people would be in deep trouble with basement water if it wasn't. I expect to see actual water in my local stream by tomorrow ;D

Put the Commando on the basement today and the Toon in the garage...I'm optimistic!

I was mistaken lake is not completely open by me, still some heavy looking black ice with some with some snow cover still on it. 
Was thinking the ramps would be open for this weekend, and you might know, I have to work Sunday >:(

All my daffys are buried under a foot or more of snow yet. The ones I have planted next to the basement would be 4 inches tall before the snow melted off of them from the heat from the basement. They do not do that since I have that house closed up for the winter.

Been in the 60's for the past week....last of the snow is ALL gone, believe it or not. Just brown grass everywhere. People even out raking. 66 for today, 70 for tomorrow....Don't know what happened, it's March in Minnysoda....the month of heavy snows and cold. Don't even ask.  I'm just going with it.  ::)  'Tater salad, beans, and Juicy Lucy's hickory smoked on the grill  this afternoon.  8)

I've NEVER, EVER seen this in March, which is usually when we get dumped on with huge snows....and never bare ground with dry grass. Making me kinda nervous. I better keep an eye on things....

Actually I planted all the bulbs last fall. I just don't remember what went where. There's Narcissis, Daffodls, tulips and Hyacinth. I think those might just be the Narcissis. We'll know in a couple of weeks.

So the yellow was part of the first leaves and not a blossom eh?  Probably from the snow - they should be fine.  my oops
on the missed ID.  When winter aconite first emerges the flower is tucked over like a little bell.  My old eyes and spring fever
got the better of me.....

What tree?

Yup, first leaves. They're pushing up all around my little garden now. That's the south face of the house so it gets pretty warm when the sun decides to come out.

When we bought our place in 1969 there were some huge neglected flower gardens. The boss woman said she would clean them up. LOL After a few years I dug the daffodils after they died down in the spring. I ended up with more than  a half a wheel barrow full of bulbs out of half of the garden.

I never got around to planting them until that Christmas afternoon. The boys and I spent all after noon after the boss woman went to work at the hospital planting. We ran out of room in the gardens so we put a 200 foot row on the edge of the ditch.

A couple years ago the son that now lives in the house dug them again in the garden. He ended up with about the same  amount as I did when I dug them 30 or so years before. The county had redone the road so he replanted that  bunch as well. Plus he sold a big bunch of them on ebay.

Around here you can tell where old homesteads used to be by the lilacs and irises that are still there from back around the depression in 1929.
