Daffodil bulb emerging

My Backyard
Evening

This is a picture of a daffodil that my mom planted last October 2009. They were covered with snow until this little thaw before the snow storms. They went though the winter sleeping like the animals. As you can see above we have not cleaned the garden yet. Some other things are starting to grow in my backyard. We are on the hunt for many signs of spring.

The bulbs went through a dormant stage for the winter. This is when the ground is frozen. Now that the days are longer and the sun is now warmer the bulbs awaken to there active state. Therefore the roots grow and leaves sprout. We will follow this bud until it grows into the flower it is meant to be.

the First Bud

time:3:33p.m
place: My Back Yard
Date: 29 January 2010

The first bud was found on a bush in my yard. This is a sign of spring because it was a special flower Rhododendron. It forms its bud in the early winter and grows bigger.Soon it will bloom April-May!Then come early winter they will form again.

This is a sign of spring because it is the first bud that you see is important to me. It was a mild day. Warm on the face. Sunny and very enjoyable.No rain has fallen on the past few days. These are some signs that are slowly becoming visible.
