Searching for Spring

We had an absolutely gorgeous weekend here in West Michigan.  Unfortunately the prediction for the week isn't so good, but we are making progress!  Spring seems very late this year, the ground has stayed cold so even the early bloomers haven't been showing their faces.
I walked around the yard Saturday to see if I could find anything popping through the ground now that the snow is finally gone.

We had several ice storms which means we have lots of twigs and branches all over the yard.

Mixed with the branches are lots of acorns that came down after the snow started, so they had to wait for Spring to be raked up.

Here's a flower!  But, it's just the last one hanging on the hydrangea tree from last year.

But here, on the edge of the woods are daffodil popping up.  Soon there will be bright yellow flowers blooming.

 And there are even some iris popping up.

Guess what?  One lone crocus has managed to bloom.  More will soon be coming.
I love Spring!  This is just the beginning!
