Spring in the Snow

Last weekend, it snowed here in Raleigh.

What is this cold white stuff here?  I don't understand - it was nice and warm a couple days ago!
Despite all the fluctuating weather, the daffodils determinedly kept to their timetable and started blooming.

My white crocuses became lost...

Okay, I think I'm having an identity crisis..
While my yellow crocus found itself.

I'm small, but I'm here!
The kids were thrilled with the snow, especially my two-year-old, who didn't remember seeing snow before.  The look of wonder on her face was beyond priceless.

And a good time was had by all.
