spring at the south end of the inland sea

it's april twenty-seventh and that's snow on the east end of the yard...

that's snow by the ramp bed ( and on the ramps )...they do not mind...

their cousins the onions have been green and laughing at cold all winter...

so, for that matter, have the winter rye and wheat...

the daffodils have been through this once already this season...

when i bought the wild strawberries from new york the cover letter said they were "tough little plants"...so i shouldn't be surprised at their hardiness...

this one had some ice on it until someone brushed it off...apparently no harm done...berry to be thrives...

the stolons' full bore effort at bed colonization does not seem to have been blunted wither...i see leaves at stolon's end...time to pin it...

and these critters aren't about to stop because of a little snow either...the simply are not going to stop for much of anything...they're from here...this is home...the forecast says it is back to spring tomorrow...whatever that means.
