Feb. 18th, 2026 07:58 pmThe first crocuses are blooming! I just had to take pictures when I spotted them this morning. Yesterday they were just buds.
Today I saw that the snow crocuses had started blooming in the rain garden.

These are blooming pale lavender.

Here is a closer view of one.

The one that had faint stripes on the bud yesterday turns out to be a slightly darker lavender once open.

Daffodils are now sprouting in the daffodil bed, so I need to rake that off soon. Just in the last day or two, they're up a couple inches.

I spotted one of the mourning doves high up a tree at the west edge of the savanna.

There are squirrel flets all over the big trees in the yard. This one is up the maple tree that stands between the house yard and the south lot.
