Today at Iten's Acres: Spring Has Sprung February 17, 2012

Spring has officially arrived. Yeah, I know the snow birds are still flitting around. The forsythia haven't bloomed yet so we have at least three snows to come--or so says the old "legend." (No, I don't know what a new legend would be.) And yes, the daffodils, tulips, glory of the snow, aconite have all been poking out checking on the weather for a couple weeks already. And I have my eyes on the snowdrops and the Lenten Rose because they've been budding since the weekend. But the official arrival? The first crocus bloomed this morning--lovely purple! (Sure, you city dwellers can be jealous.)
