It's in the 30s here more days than not, if not for a high, then the low. It's only 34 right now and supposed to warm up ro 37 for a couple of hours before gets dark and colder again. :(  Up to the mid-60s next week then cooling off again. It's a roller-coaster spring that feels like winter. Almost.

Yesterday I had tulips and grape hyacinth blooming. The daffodils always bloomed and died back before the tulips bloomed, but not this year. They're just setting there doing nothing. I don't get it. A couple days before that, there wasn't even a grape hyacinth plant in the yard. The temp was in the 80s and BAM! It just appeared out of nowhere, flowers and all. Lots of white clover around it judging by the leaves, but it's green so I don't car. I was told today that they smell really good, but I never knew they even had a smell. Maybe tomorrow I'll crawl around and find out. CAFO! ;) I should have taken pics after I mowed today, but didn't. I mowed around it instead of over it this time. The star-of-Bethlehem in the back yard never bloomed and all got mowed down.

Same stuff, different year.
