Yes, that is a wonderful problem! We've been getting rain, too, not too much but will take anything we can get. I had planned on starting to prune today right off my patio so wouldn't have to get too wet, but it never happened (my local spa had 35% off pedicure, so... important things first, besides, they gave me a glass of wine!) Will try for tomorrow, supposed to be 75, but a good chance of rain. Valentine's Day seems to be the set time to start in the Dallas area, but it can wait until it dries out. What I'm worried about is getting a freeze which could very easily happen.

I forgot to mention the "volunteers" that are blooming now. The yellow oxalis, of course - looks great with the first daffodils. Also some sort of watsonia - long leaves with red/orange flowers. Planted itself in a rose bed right next to the storm gutter - I assume the seed was washing down the street and decided to stay. This plant, whatever it is, has naturalized in vacant lots all over our neighborhood.

I'm always a month behind you up here. There is a lot going on though. Many roses are leafing. The daffodils are blooming as are some reblooming iris. My ornamental apricot is blooming but it always does in Feb. The weather can be so fickle. Last year we had a huge snow in March. Now a days I don't know what to think.

It all sounds so lovely, Jackie! You need to share a picture of you spring beauties for all of us still stuck in the gray drearies!
