Hope Springs Eternal?

My yard is pretty barren. Last fall I mercilessly dug up weeds and bulbs alike. I took out three bushes and Rob annihilated the pear tree. It was good through the winter to have the yard so bare but now that Spring is springing, things are starting to come to life. I expect the weeds and dandelions but was happily surprised to see these pretty things pop up before everything else. They look lonely in the barrenness but they did bring me much needed hope that we made it through another winter (barely) and that sometimes miracles DO happen. Here's hoping that this is a sign of better things to come...
