I went for a walk to see the signs of spring during our oddly warm days. I was surprised to see a buttefly. The weather has been gorgeous. The trees and flowers are budding and growing.
We could still have some freezing weather this winter. It’s a long time until last frost.
My mini-daffodils are blooming and there is an old saying about ‘snow falling on daffodils once’… but since mine aren’t the classic kind, they may not count. Meanwhile, we’ll enjoy the pleasant weather while it’s here.
Wishing you all a pleasant week.

It’s the time of year where you’re hoping for spring, but you know it isn’t quite time yet! My daffodils are blooming, too. And I’ve seen one tiny butterfly: that’s greenish-yellow color. ‘twon’t be long!

Makes you want to plant a garden doesn’t it? I decided to start seeds inside instead this week.

Hi Nadine
You bet it does. We’ve been talking about tilling up an area for some onions, but it’s too wet at the moment.
I hope you’ll post photos on your blog of your seedlings as they grow. It gives such a sense of satisfaction to grow your own plants. I wish you super success. 🙂

I don’t think I have ever seen a butterfly in February. Your walk “to see the signs of spring” turned out beautifully! Now, I must get out and take a closer look.. I will start with the “lipstick Powderhorn lichens.” :~) Hope you have a nice week!

Seeing the butterfly was a fun surprise. We have all sorts of flora and fauna waking up and showing itself. The “lipstick Powderhorn lichens.” pretty much stays around all year, but it’s pretty and tiny, and I couldn’t resist taking it’s photo and sharing it.
Hope you have a wonderful week too. 🙂

I love seeing the first signs of Spring. Time of rebirth. Seeing all things beautiful sprouting from the earth. I would not have expected to see the butterfly either. You were so lucky to have been there at just the right time.

Seeing the butterfly was such good fun. Spring is definitely trying to be in full swing here. It’s a joy to see the world awaken after it’s winter’s nap. 🙂

A butterfly! After a few warm days, I thought I’d better check on the chrysalises in the shed–just to make sure there weren’t any early emerging butterflies with nothing to eat.

Hey Patti
After the bitter cold we’ve been having I figure that butterfly has frozen to death…
Or not, it did survive the winter. I haven’t seen it since though.
