Tulip Close-up
I think the pattern inside this tulip is incredibly beautiful - I am always awed by the complexity and intricate patterns in nature. They are usually much better than anything we can come up with ourselves.
Maybe we should trust more things to the expert...

More New Growth...
Alright, so it snowed this morning...again. About an inch...sigh - But the new snow now mostly melted in the sunny areas of my yard, so I took a walk to look at the few things that are growing - and to try and get a picture of the birds that are trying to make their home in my garage. No luck with the birds, but I did find this:
The crocuses that I bought in September and then neglected to plant until November are up. In several places in the yard - I swear that less than a week ago, they were burried in snow, and now they are up! I am excited - I was worried that I waited too long to plant my bulbs and that they weren't going to come up this spring. The tulips that I planted have come up in one of the beds, and have the most pretty pattern on the inside of them:
I hope the others come up as well.

Seriously...Who's been eating my Tulips?
So I have been patiently watching my gardens, and I come home to see my tulip sprouts look like this:
They've been nibbled on. I don't even know what eats tulips. We have a lot of birds around, but that's about it for animals. I haven't ever seen a squirrel - but we did have a bit of a mouse problem in the fall and if they are back I am not a happy camper.

Signs of Spring...
My tulips are up! Well, the tulips I didn't know I had. The ones I planted last fall might have been planted a little late for this region and might be dead...but we'll see, it's still early. I guess that's what happens when you move into a new house in September - the gardens are a surprise in the spring.
However my crocuses are still under this:
