I was SO excited and surprised to see my first Spring flower today!! Amazing what a little sunshine can do. Yesterday flurries, today this:
little group of cheery crocus
purple is my favorite color
Ruby Giant Crocus
One of my favorite early bloomers!
On my way back inside, I couldn't believe my eyeballs when I saw something fluttering around our garage entrance. It flew off when I got a closer.
Mourning Cloak Butterfly
Isn't it a little early for butterflies? It was snowing yesterday. I couldn't help myself and googled to ID it. Below search results, this caught my eye:
What does a mourning cloak butterfly symbolize?
After editing this post to include the butterfly sighting, I am heading back outside.

Oh wow. Beautiful. You are behind us by about two weeks, if we can gauge that by the arrival of crocus. Definitely a first sign of spring and that is a beauty!
Only two weeks? That's not bad. It feels like we are way behind this Spring. I am heading back outside to soak up more sunny wonders!
I’ve got a few crocuses and daffodils blooming. It did snow a bit last week but now it’s just rain. Oh well, they say April showers bring May flowers.
That’s pretty amazing about the butterflies and their meaning.
Cardinals and now the mourning butterfly? Someone is sending you some love from beyond.
Beautiful flowers!
Cardinals and the Butterfly...wow, that is something!
I saw crocuses yesterday while digging up old daffies. Mine are so incredibly tiny.
What a beautiful day Saturday was!
Here is to another fine day...
