Freezing Temperatures and Dreaming of Spring!

I don't know what the weather is like in your part of the country or world, but here in the Midwest United States, I woke up to -14 degrees Fahrenheit (-25.6 Celsius) this morning! Being more than a little tired of the snow, cold and the monochromatic gray world outside my window, I started dreaming of spring and the beautiful color that March and April will bring. Enjoy my day dreams!

    Thank you from the frozen tundra!

    Cynthia, that one is iris x histroides 'Katharine Hodgkin'. Those and the iris reticulata are some of the first flowers to bloom in my garden in early spring.

    We aren't nearly as cold but foggy foggy foggy here. This post surely makes me crave spring! I can feel the spring sunshine in the first one. Love the iris too. I NEED that one but can never seem to find it locally. Gotta order it I guess.

    I bought a bouquet of tulips tonight when I stopped at the grocery store. I saw them and just couldn't resist. Very pink and very cheery!

    Susan, I sure enjoyed your daydreams of spring! All of the blossoms are just so pretty and have me dreaming of spring as well? I could stare at these all day...I see it is snowing a little yet so it must be early spring daydreaming time ;-)

    Susan, I was ready for Spring last fall.
    Our temps. have remained in the single digits for some time, and it's turning me into a grouchy-pants. So, I'll daydream, right along with you, if you don't mind.

    Oh my, what wonderful photos and reminders that spring will arrive, not soon, but it's coming.

    Your blog is so beautiful, Susan.
