Looking for Signs of Spring

Sunday, the sun was shining brightly and I decided to take my camera out to look for signs of spring.  

The sky was bright blue with only a few wispy clouds.  The sunshine was deceiving because it was bitter cold, barely in the 30's.  Still, I set out in my backyard for signs.  
My neighbor's daffodils were having none of it.  They were hanging their heads trying to shield themselves from the cold.  
I did find a few buds on the Lilac bush at the back of our yard.

I was a bit disappointed at the lack of findings and fear it means we are still in for some winter weather.  Maybe I'll find more next weekend.  

MAKE IT A GREAT DAY! 

I will be linking this post to Outdoor Wednesdays.

  1. I haven't even gone around my yard here in NC. The daffodils are huge and beautiful but it's been too gray to take any photos. I'll try to check them out as soon as the sun comes out. I loved your photos too.

  3. My daffodils are up, but I only see them from afar because it's so darn cold out there! Where is spring?

  4. Hi La! Oh, those little daffs will have their tiny heads up soon and everything will be budding out all over. It's been in the 70s here for a few weeks so we have lots of blooming going on.
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

  6. I keep looking for signs too. The cold just keeps hanging on. I love it when the grass gets all green. It is beginning to turn green...just a few more weeks!

  12. Greetings from California :-)

    I believe God put me on earth to accomplish a certain number of things and I will live until my work is finished. Visiting nice blogs like yours is high on my list. Right now I am so far behind I don't think I will ever die!

    When you have the time come by a visit :-)

    Take care and above all else, guard your heart for it affects everything else you do.

  15. No real signs of spring weather here,either, La. And I was freezing today. What's with Ohio weather this year, anyway? I did see a yellow daffodil poking out today, though. I hope it's warmer in NC this weekend- I want to wear my sandals! :-)
