It's well worth driving across the state to visit the spring bulb show at Smith College.
The show provided an early taste of spring flowers. I loved the splash of color!Posted by Denise Goldberg at 7:30 AM

in a greenhouse
Today I headed to Smith College to spend some time with flowers that were thriving in the greenhouse during the Spring Bulb Show.
It was wonderful to stand and absorb the beauty of bright spring flowers.Posted by Denise Goldberg at 6:17 PM

mini daffodils
Late morning, with rain predicted for the afternoon, I headed to Maudslay State Park. I wondered if any new flowers had emerged since my last visit almost two weeks ago.
I found snowflakes and snowdrops hidden behind a brick wall, and I found miniature daffodils in bloom on the hill that is a home to crocus a little later in the season. It's always fun to visit flowers early in the blooming season.Posted by Denise Goldberg at 3:39 PM

a tidal river
Today's temperature provided an early glimpse of spring.
After enjoying a warm walk near home I headed to the coast, thinking the warmth would continue. It was 58 degrees when I left home. The thermometer in my car held that temperature until I turned toward the coast from route 1. By the time I reached the ocean the air temperature was 44 degrees, driven down by a cold ocean wind. I walked by the ocean for a bit before heading north on Plum Island to walk by the tidal Merrimack River.Posted by Denise Goldberg at 5:28 PM

first flower
Imagine my surprise when I peered over a garden wall at Maudslay State Park and saw tiny flowers emerging.
At first the small hillside presented as a sea of brown; I needed to get closer! As I stepped through the opening in the wall I saw green shoots and a few winter snowflake flowers, an early sign of spring.Posted by Denise Goldberg at 2:53 PM
