Buttercups Peeping Up - It's Spring! Well... Almost!


I looked out the window to see a welcome surprise this early in the year (February).. BUTTERCUPS! I love those little flowers. They spring up out of the cold ground before anything else and they announce to the world that spring is coming! BUT...

Old man winter still has his grip here in North Alabama.

It is in the mid 30's for high temps here and it looks like that will be the pattern for the upcoming weekend. Dan Satterfield at WHNT 19 in Huntsville, AL is predicting snow for this weekend, although we have heard that already and seen nothing but cold rain! As much as I love spring, one big snow would be great. We have a sled to pull my girls on and they don't remember the last snow we had that was a few years ago. By Wednesday though, Dan says it will warm back up to the 50's...giving my buttercups a chance to come back out after the "snow" :-))

Another up close shot of the buttercups here.
