WHAT TIME OF YEAR IS THIS?

I've had quite a number of bulbs peaking out of last year's mulch, already.  Hope it's not too soon.  "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature."  

The temps have been marvelous this week though I haven't had much time to enjoy them with all the rain.  Finally, today, I walked around the lake at Sharon Woods.  Invigorating!

I'm holding out hope for a very cold blast of Arctic air in Southwest Ohio for the week after next.  Satisfying!
