Is Spring Finally "Springing"?

This is sedum coming up in the front yard. When I was out taking pictures for this weeks You Capture challenge, I found what I think are some definite signs of spring. What do you think?
This is some of the yard waste that hubby raked up today.
Buds on a bush that I don't recall the name of.
If this wasn't sideways, it would look like crocus buds. I tried to
rotate the picture, but no such luck.

These are buds on my lilac bush. A personal favorite!

So, what do you think? Am I crazy or am I really seeing what I think I'm seeing?

  5. How did I not know you had a lilac bush?!?! And where is it? I LOVE the smell of lilacs. I noticed a few days agao that the trees here all have buds on them. Surprisingly (because I genuinely love the snow) I am really looking forward to spring and not having to bundle up the girls everytime we go out.

  8. I have always wanted a lilac bush. Great pics. I noticed in my front yard after work that I need to rake up the left over leaves from last year.

  9. I live in Colorado and I just found that 2 of my plants from last year are still alive! Along with the green onions that I planted. I couldnt believe it, we barely had a winter this year. I am sooooo ready for spring.

  10. There are few things I love more than green shoots poking up through the ground.
    Also, I love lilacs! My parents have six or seven lilac bushes, and they smell so heavenly in May.
