Yes, Virginia, There Really WILL Be a Spring!

 

Here are my annual "Can you believe it? The Creeping Phlox are blooming in Auburn Park!" pictures.  You'd think by now I wouldn't be surprised by this, but every year I get so excited when I see them popping out -- it still feels so unexpected, and makes me smile! The sun seems brighter, the days seem longer and even though it's 20 degrees, I swear I can smell warmer weather coming (in spite of knowing that another snow battering is on its way in a couple of days...)
