Another sign of spring today: The temperature this morning was a chilly 20°F, yet this afternoon I saw my first butterfly of the year. Do you know the
Mourning Cloak butterfly? They're very common in Colorado, and typically one of the first butterflies to come out of hibernation. There's a great write up about them
here.
What signs of spring have you seen lately?

In Tennessee the Red Oaks are budding out, the first daffodils & hyacinths are blooming, my rose is putting out new growth, and the day lilies are starting to sprout. Yay for spring!!
Happy Gardening!
Sounds lovely, Emily!
