Looking Forward to Spring

Every spring, usually at the end of March, our first flower blooms on the south side of the house along the exterior basement wall.   It's vinca, or periwinkle, which is an attractive dark green ground cover. By April the blue flowers are all over, but it is that first flower that I crave.

There is snow on the ground right now, but in three weeks, spring will have arrived.

I should survive until then.
