Yes, at least the first I found. We have had a couple of 70 degree days. Of course, this is growing in woods -- shade. Daffodils, crocuses, hyacinth, forsythia are blooming in some gardens in sunny spots.

It's always great to find those first full blooms! It helps us believe that summer REALLY is on the way. :o)

We, however, are due to get to 60F today. Well, a friend of mine just got back from St. Petersburg with pictures of the ice palace there, so I should be grateful for what warmth we ahve.
