A Second Look--March 28, 2012

This week during a Second Look I saw more evidence of the yard's emergence from its winter hibernation. I found three new varieties of daffodils blooming. Also, we have seen the return of the finches to our feeder and have spotted house finches and gold finches there. The crocus are almost done blooming but the bleeding hearts are starting. The trees show a variety of stages that range from buds, blooms and new leaves to dried leaves still hanging on from the fall. I hardly know which way to look.
