This year’s winter, at least in my neck of woods, has been quite mild.

We are already into the second week of February, yet we only had about an inch of snow (a month ago), and the temperatures have been unseasonably warm (even in the 60’s).

This wonderfully warm weather, yet strange at the same time, fooled my spring flowers into coming out of the ground, and some are even blooming.

Here are some pictures of the early signs of spring 2012:

Can you believe all these blooms in February…..

Hyacinths are  poking through….

Isn’t it just amazing how the forming flower bud is so close to the ground?

Crocuses are also waking up….

Daffodils had even an earlier start….

Notice the Daffodil bloom budding already…..way to early…
