First spring garden shoots!

Finally!  There are new shoots and greens, buds and leaves starting to come up in the garden.  In the yard we see the snowdrops, tulips, forsythia buds, crocuses...in the garden there are garlic greens, chives, rhubarb, herbs greening up, and berry buds peeking from the moist cool soil..in the greenhouse we have our fresh young lettuce coming up quickly.  We can hear all the spring birds back, and have seen pairs of mourning doves, starlings, cardinals, sparrows, robins, downy woodpeckers, and bluejays frequenting our yard looking for nesting materials.  Such a hopeful time of anticipation...
