We have received 0.89 in. of rain this week so the ground is moist.  It has been a mix of cool and warm, but temperatures are a little more seasonal this week.  Spirea started blooming this week and the first iris popped open.  Tulips are blooming well and a few stray daffodils are blooming.  Redbud are trying to recover after the freeze and snow a few weeks ago.  I moved my houseplants out last weekend in the nice, warm weather, but they probably aren't happy with me now that it is colder.  Things are really greening up, but this Spring seems to be muted with many flowering plants getting burnt by the snow and freeze last month.  The usual critters are around - birds at the feeders and squirrels around the yard.
