the Circle
we started off with temperatures in the 20°f range and two days of snow, as caught on the porch cam:
by Saturday the temperature had hit the 70°f mark but the snowdrops were still holding out in the Circle ...
Galanthus Nivalis
Jackson Park
... and over in Jackson Park the crocus meadow had come into its brief annual existence.
Crocus
the Grove's other crocus meadow is/was on a privately owned lot where construction has taken place over the course of the past year; the attendant moving and scraping of soil might have obliterated it. it's been a while since I've been over there but will take a look later today to see how -- or if -- it's coming along.
