The most exciting find was a few days ago when I discovered that my crocus were peeping their heads out! This is always thrilling for me - their bright, cheerful flowers give me hope that spring really is coming
And then while surveying the condition of the backyard I found this:
We had been wondering where the elephant-shaped puzzle piece had gone! Poor thing was snow bound for the last 5 months. He looks surprisingly intact!
and this - one of my daughter's plastic food items - a "head of lettuce". I thought it wasn't a very convincing replica, but apparently it fooled one of our squirrels. I'd like to have seen the look on the squirrel's face when he realized he was chewing a hole in a plastic head of lettuce. I'm sure his squirrel pals didn't let him live that one down for a long time.
Last - this one just was so cute. My little guy decided to "park" one of his cars in a houseplant. I'd like to think he was playing and decided this is where it landed after going over a bluff and landing in a ravine. But no, I think his 2 year old self just became distracted and this was the first place he saw to put the car. Lucky I guess, atleast I didn't step on it.

The found items in the snow. I so do not miss that. Although the crocuses are beautiful. I always used to look for violets, and trilliums in the woods. Now, I watch for the tabiulias to bloom (think I spelt that wrong). but th orange blossoms OH MY! they are so small that you don't really see them but man are they powerful. You can smell them for quite a ways. Love it.
Sue - do I know you from Ravelry??
