This wee sprout stands a proud 1/8 inch/2.5 centimeters tall. Of course, this little daffodil or tulip sprout grows inside our house in special potting soil. Lots of little pots as we try to gain a head start.

“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”

“The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.”
~Robert Frost

“The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.” (Or more!)
