Today is the vernal equinox, and we actually have weather to match (which means I need to start working on the garden again, now that the snow has melted,^[1] and the ground, presumably, will be getting warm enough to dig the ever present dandelions out in a day or two.)

But in the meantime, some pix to celebrate the changing of the seasons:

To keep track of my bulbs (as well as cultivars with differing blooms, such as daylilies) I (sometimes) mark them with plant sticks. The photo below shows a snowdrop marker;^[2] I need to make a bunch for early crocus^[3] currently in awkward spots so I can move them to the lawn.
