Spring is slow in coming

Spring bulbs are late in coming this year...or maybe I'm just impatient.  This is the only little crocus that has braved the elements so far, although the daffodils are shooting up more each day.  I've been working on clearing the majority of the leaf debris from the main flower beds to give the poor spring bulbs less work in fighting their way up, but as is typical for Michigan springs, if the days are warm and sunny, they are also windy in the extreme, which means my efforts to clean one bed are quickly challenged by the wind moving those same leaves to another bed.  Oh, for a windless, sunny day in which to work in the garden!
