Out in our Yard

You're right, Karen.  It looks like Spring may really be here.  We are working a little with some plants in our yard and I decided to follow suit and show some of the signs of Spring that I saw on our lawn.
What is this?  Green in our yard?  Actually I had to look to find a place that wasn't all clover or some other sort of interloper.  Yes, it will soon be time to start mowing again.  I love seeing the green.  

   

Even though these little white and lavender flowers are tiny, they add a splash of color to our lawn.  I don't want to mow them down.  And they are too small to pick and put in a vase.   
These are called grape hyacinth.  You can buy bulbs and grow them in your garden, but they seem to pop up in our lawn anyway.  I want to mow around them too.  They are so cute.  There were some honey bees among them but they avoided my camera.

Interestingly enough, my yard is also full of things I don't want to mow -- the flowers, the grass...
