Ah ... I won't know if those light green things poking up from the ground are crocuses or daffodils til they grow a little more ... and you say MAGNOLIAs are coming alive already> In MANITOBA???? Wow ... I love magnolias!

The last few days have been mnostly great here and my big old winter coat is way too warm now so have switched to a little jacket. Ah yes ... I've already seen folks puttering in their yards and gardens .. cleaning up dead stuff and getting ready for the growing season ... it's spring but not bursting yet ... very soon though! HURRAH!
