...and it begins again...

The groundhog said no, but here we go. After ice and snow a couple weeks ago thunderstorms rumbled through and the first crocus are now blooming. A tinge of green is showing up in the yard and the birds are beginning to sing their spring songs.

Daffodils look like they'll bloom any day, around Tulsa. I suppose it's time be turning some soil for a veggie garden.
By the way, nice "crepe paper" effect on the pic, Steve.

Thanx Bill; daffodils around here are still just green shoots.Crepe paper effect is Photoshop elements3.0 Fresco filter. I shot the flowers with a home-made fisheye on old Sony Mavica.

Yep, crocuses (croci?) and daffs coming up in my yard too. We've been too spoiled this winter... I am suspicious {raises eyebrow}.
