The iris plants are popping up from hibernation all over (as is the hated clover in the driveways and rock walkways). The driftwood roses along the fence at the road are showing signs of activity, but no leaves or flowers yet. The elephant ears along the walks along the carport wall and fire pit have shown no signs of waking up.
The forsythia bushes, usually our first signs of spring, have begun to show some leaves. The tulip magnolia in our back yard is still sleeping as are the dogwoods on the south side of the house.
Our trees, of which there are far too many, are still dormant -- especially down around the pond. For some reason, they're always late risers.
Here are the pictures, taken more or less at random, around the house. About the only green you'll see are the evergreen pines and a little of the (surviving?) grass.
