The upside of February being the coldest on record is that we still have snowdrops blooming and the crocus seem not to mind the cool temperatures. While I love warm summer weather, there is something special about the warm-up taking it's time to arrive. The flowers of late winter/spring are such a pleasure and it's a delight to revel in their presence for a while instead of barely noticing them as they fly by.
For years a few inherited crocus bloomed by the front door for just a day before the neighborhood squirrels would descend upon them and destroy the flowers. For the past couple of years, the squirrels have left the blooms alone but are usually busy digging and replanting the corms in the fall.
