The weather here has been a roller coaster lately to say the least! But I think I found a few signs of spring...
The first Crocus
The first Daffodils
The first Magnolia bloom
The first foal of the year at the farm next door. This little colt is about 12 days old here

Yea, spring did find you and brought some gorgeous blooms too.
The foal is adorable, beautiful coloring.

Netty do you ever get to actually see the babies being born? When we lived downstate some friends of ours had horses across the road and 2-3 differant times we were able to go to the barn and watch them be born.
Your flowers are pretty. My daffy's are just blooming But it seems threir late to what everyone else has around me.

No Petunia, I've never seen a foal being born. They seem to arrive in the middle of the night when I am sleeping. I just love going to see the new foals...they are so cute and clumsy when they are new. They are like that until they grown into their legs lol So cute!

I believe you're right! Spring found you in a big way. Your flowers are beautiful.
The little colt is so cute.

Yaaayyy Netty it's spring for you at long last!! My crocus, daffodils and magnolia blooms and now things of the past so it's nice to see yours as it prolongs spring for me. Like Droopy - I love your handsome new neighbour.

Thanks for the comments all. The foal is my neighbors. This little guy still doesn't have a name as far as I know, but he has a new little friend...
They are expecting 3 more foals this spring.
