Tulips and Rhododendron

The tulips were not eaten by deer this year.  I haven’t seen these fully bloom in a few years.

2017 Hummingbird Patrol

The hummingbirds seem to be about a week earlier than last year, which isn’t surprising given the mild winter and early spring we’ve had.  When the first ones are sighted in southern Minnesota we usually get the feeder out.  It shouldn’t be long now.

Crocus

It’s always exciting when the crocus bloom.  This year they’re not struggling to erupt through a layer of snow and they seem very happy about it.
