Signs of Spring

[Betsy Voinovich]

Okay, I know I'm the worst photographer on here but here you go. First sign of Spring from my backyard. I think they're tulips? Daffodils? (I'm not a great gardener either.) And it's sideways, just pick up your computer, turn clockwise, one turn. (I could say I took it sideways laying down in the snow on the lawn but that's not true. Just a new phone.)

Damn--- I fell off my chair and dropped my laptop

I actually heard a robin singing outside this morning at about 5:00. What a welcomed sound! (Someone better tell him about the 4-8 inches of snow they're predicting tonight).

Natalie-- I think once they're back they stay here, enduring any weather. kind of like people who come back to Lakewood. (I'm actually not only a person who's come back to Lakewood, just one who's come to Lakewood, all the way from Cleveland.)

okay, okay. I was at the Natural History Museum today. This robin is a robin of the past.
And it's still sideways. I hear if i put the picture into photo shop, I can turn it, here goes.

okay. sorry Stan, hope you didn't drop your laptop again.
I should have turned my camera sideways when I shot it.
I love hearing robins. This one wasn't singing but it was great at sitting still.

Snowdrops! I love them.

First daffodils! My daughter came into the kitchen yelling to come out and take a picture as if the daffodils were going to fly away
like the first robin did.

Some kind of tiny bell shaped flowers from down the street. I don't know what they are, I've never seen them before.

My mom's first crocus, all the way from Collinwood.

Some mystery buds from our front garden. Kids were hoping someone on here would know
what they were. (And maybe somebody knows what the purple ones are.)

Thanks.

Oh I guess you can only post three pictures at a time.
Here's my mystery buds.
