Spring comes slowly here in Chicago...but some signs of hope

[Patrick IL.]

Spring is normally very stubborn about arriving here. Today was almost 70..that means it will be 30 in a day or so
I ran outside and found a few signs of hope here

Some of my VERY EARLY bulbs peaking thier heads up

My red maple is normally slow too, compared to the elms in the area...but she is budding!

Hang in there folks spring is coming!

Glad to see that spring is making it's way north. The picture of the red maple branches against the blue sky is very pretty.

What are your early bulbs - daffodils? They have a reddish hue to them.

Hope to see more pictures later when they are in bloom!

It's always nice to see you here, Patrick. The weather has been mild here also, and I know what you mean, we'll probably get snow next week!

Thank you for the pics.

Patrick it's on it way, I can see green there.

Good-bye to the winter of 02-03. May I never see another mini Ice Age.
