You may recall that I received a wonderful flying pig for Christmas from my son, daughter-in law and granddaughter.  They live in Florida and the pig resided there over the winter .  I named her Primrose, thinking that she would be a good harbinger of spring when I brought her home to the garden in April.   There should have been primroses.  Not so.  Instead I woke to this yesterday.  Primrose was giving me a Mona Lisa smile………however, I was not amused.

The snow is gone from the upper garden, and I can see some of the new ephemerals I planted last year poking through the ground.  Temps in the 50’s and 60’s are forecast for the weekend.  I think there will be lots to report about next week.
