Half way there....

The first flowers of Spring are shyly coming through. These little ones are the first ones to arrive this season. Braving the blistery cold they are bringing a little color to my yard and with it a measure of hope that Spring is finally around the corner. Aren't they beautiful? They are the first ones in the entire cul de sac and all the little children (about 10 of them) were outside admiring them this morning. We were cleaning up a little bit around them and moving the dead leaves off from them and later on putting them back over to keep the cold away from the flowers. We even managed a mini-lesson on the role worms play here on earth when one of the little tykes was adamant on squishing it between its fingers!

Next to the flowers is my pretty Chevron Scarf, it is coming along slowly. I am almost to the end of 1 skein of the Koigu (using 2 skeins at the same time to knit 2 rows with each skein). I took the other skeins with me to the KnitOut and I don't remember where I placed them. I am going to have to dig through my luggage and my boxes of projects. I just hope I didn't lose them as I don't remember the colorways. It is looking attractive and I can't wait to have it finished and save it for next winter, it would bring a bit of color to the Winter drab.

Pretty flowers. Pretty scarf.
alas, the bunnies eat my croci (?) so I have none. I will have to keep looking at yours.

I have crocuses in my front yard (and side yards and back yard) but mine are in a beautiful shade of purple! I love seeing them every spring, just because they herald in the nice weather. Thanks for sharing the pic!

Oooh, crocuses! I just love all spring flowers. Pansies are my favorite though. The scarf looks beautiful! I love the colors!

It looks so springy! I'll do the blog thing/review on Monday, when I get de-funk-tified. Sorry I've been a bit busy and cranky lately. :D
