Looking forward to Spring

While winter has magic all its own....

And Hanna really wishes that it stays winter all year long...

Louie, husby and I are already looking forward to spring! 

These are what remained of the crocuses that I planted 2 years ago.  Those pesky squirrels kept digging the bulbs and the rabbits kept eating the leaves.  And no, cayenne pepper doesn't really work, I just end up with powdery red stuff all over the flower beds.
