A sign of spring!

The shrubs in front of our house were all pulled out last fall (overgrown and dead sections). Clare planted a few things temporarily for some foliage and color and then also planted several tulip bulbs (from Jeanne). The tulips apparently need more than a week of very cold weather and we've had that, so here come some tulips!
