Crocus blooms peek out

First signs of spring here are always the crocus blooms next to the porch.  Today, we found the first ones - yellow and such a welcome sight as the snow finally melts away.  It has been a good, hard winter with lots of snow and cold.  I have enjoyed it (easy for me since I stay home much of the time), but am looking forward to spring - and this was a sweet reminder of what lies in store.  :-)
