Spring.
The first signs of spring.
There was a splash of color in my front garden. The one where all the snow has melted, as it's a down-sloping south-facing wall. So I went for a look-see to find tussilago - alas, it's not up yet.
It wasn't there yesterday - or, if it was, I didn't see it. And it's not in flower yet. Still: it's the first crocus of the year. Yay!
Pic: Alder in flower. And the alder (Alnus sp.) is in flower.
Pic: Alder flower. Birches aren't, and other catkin-flowering trees like oaks aren't there by a long shot yet. I didn't go for a longer walk to see if the hazelnut was flowering - it might be, I'll check later this week.
A root vegetable caught my eye, overwintered, on top of the dirt, with overwintered greens. Not kohlrabi, the other kind, lemme check: ah yes, rutabaga (Brassica napus var. napobrassica). I think.

Spring is coming, slowly but surely. Snowmelt is major, sunny spots are bare, other spots less so. But there's no greens except those that overwintered under the snow.
