The First Flowers of Spring

I love the first flowers of Spring!  They are such an inspiration to me.  The struggle through the cold, hard ground and bring a hope of life again.  We has such long, hard winters in Idaho and I long for days of warmth and newness.  Thus, I love the first flowers of Spring! 
I have a little patch of crocuses in the front flower bed and one day in April there they were.  Pretty little, dainty purple petals saying it was getting warmer and spring was on it's way.
Thank you crocuses.  Thank you sunshine, Thank you Heavenly Father. 

First thing in the morning

Just a little while later.
