Signs of spring are popping up everywhere. Pots of tulips, primroses and daffodils greet us when we go grocery shopping.

For those of us who prefer to do it ourselves, a rainbow of primroses, just $5 for four pots.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch…the ‘Tete á Tete’ daffodils are always the first to make an appearance. Little clumps of their leaves are already beginning to show themselves.

The tulips will take a bit longer, but what could be more encouraging than the nose of a tulip venturing above ground? Yes…hope springs eternal.
