Yep. Frogs were singing when I went out to the see the Blood Moon at 1:30 in the morning.

Indeed Spring has sprung! The glacier covering my back yard is now nearly all melted, I've been able to walk my stir-crazy dog around the pasture and to the mailbox, and daffodils and daylilies are staring to poke their heads out of the ground.

Daffodils, primroses, and anemones are all blooming. The forsythia is flowering too; that typically signals that it's time to trim the rose bushes in our area of the Pacific Northwest.

Had to bring in a package from the front porch this morning, so I took some sidewalk pictures.
NOTE: I have read to NOT clean up debris in the Spring too soon, bc beneficial insects overwinter there.
It's Also a good excuse to be lazy!
I have an overabundance of red and yellow w/orange stripes tulips growing alongside of my front steps/walkway that leads to 1/2 "sidewalks to NOWHERE". I thought a squirrel had planted a "crocus" then I remembered that I had bought/planted 3 Sapphire Beauty Dutch Iris a few years ago. This one survived and it should multiply itself. Didn't know it would flower this early.
Hooray!! I am patting myself on my back and thanking myself with a hale and hearty handshake.
The purple columbine keeps coming back like an old friend and freely multiplies itself. Expect more photos this Spring.
First to flower is the Dutch iris, then the tulips, then the black iris and the yellow iris, which is over my the south side of my garage.
This September, after my left leg surgery and when I can handle some gardening, I will need to dig up these beds and clean out the tulips bc they are in these beds pretty tight. I might do it late June...
