3-1-25 SHORT HILLS: Yesterday I was outside doing more clean up. I was removing dead fall from the trees and shrubs in the upper triangle at the intersection of our two streets. I did about half of it, and that took over an hour. During a break I saw, wait for it, snowdrops up and in bloom! In February!
I have always considered March first as the beginning of spring and look forward to six months of spring and summer and then three months of fall. I know about the Vernal Equinox on the 21st and all that, and that we will probably get more snow, but March first does it for me.
New blooms: snowdrops.
A cluster of snowdrops, always our first to show. A closer look shows that some are not only up but open.

Spring in Vermont in February. You’ve got to be kidding..
Hope for two weeks in May
We're in NJ, as per the date line on the post
We've had lots of snowdrops for the last several days as well. The only difference is that ours aren't coming up, they're coming down. And all white, no green!
