The yellow flowers were first sited last Friday. They've been curled up tight since then (we've had cold weather and 3 full days of rain!). Today they opened up again, and even though they're a bit ragged looking, I felt they deserved to be put up here as our "First Flowers Blooming of Spring" honors.  Our faithful purple crocouses opened up again today as well.  Will kept trying to tell me we needed to water the flowers or the small trees we have growing. Did he not see the 3 days of rain? 

In celebration of the first day of spring, we were able to enjoy a 50 degree day with sunshine. And enjoy it we did, since we're looking at lots more rain and clouds in the next few weeks.
