Snowdrops in mid February, that's a first!

There's a little snow on the field but it's melting fast and the air feels like spring!

Finally snow! While it means snow shoveling and all that, we can breath easier now that the daylilies are protected under the snow.

We don't usually grow evergreen daylilies but this cultivar (and others) seems to survive fine here. Which leads us to believe that many evergreens could do fine in this climate.
The problem is it would probably take a lot of trial and error to figure out which one.

The swallows have filled most of our birdhouses, 4 in total I believe. The early species daylilies are budded up and a few of my early hybrids have started to bloom.
At the end of the season frost brings a deadly beauty throughout or fields as it kills all growth for the season.

With the rain finally stopping and the weather beginning to warm, we all feel like its beginning.
Water is the source of life and as such life is bursting out everywhere. I love the way the green of spring changes subtley to the green of summer each day deepening abit.

Today I saw two hummingbirds fighting, they collided in mid-air and then fell to the ground rolling around in a bundle of furious feathered energy.
