In our area, March is really still winter. There are a few brave flowers poking up but mostly it is better to just admit that Spring is not here yet. This morning we took a garden tour, a morning stroll around the yard that we never miss in Spring, Summer and Fall. This morning I got permission to take a picture of David, who is extremely camera shy, to illustrate the fashion for winter garden tours–I was given permission to put it on the blog since his face was turned away!

The cats were as usual sociable, following us around the garden:

And yes, another sign of Spring–there are four new calves in the pasture, leaping around and enjoying their new legs. Here are three of them–and there are about six more still expected.

A few frozen garden spots:
telephone pole garden in the back yard
north garden, full of tulip bulbs but still sleeping
And we have lots of vegetable seedlings indoors, but the vegetable garden is in winter mode:

Wow Anne. I can’t believe the beautiful flowers poking up in the cold north. Great pictures!
