Longing for lungwort

Ahh... our first taste of spring finally came, on the last day of March. Our KCRG meteorologist said the last time we reached 64 degrees was Nov. 19. It's been a long time coming.
By this time last year, I had tulips, hyacinth and this pretty pink-to-blue pulmonaria in bloom. A look at the lungwort this weekend wasn't as inspiring, as it was still somewhat encased in an icy mass. Still, it's nice to remember how spring feels and know that it's finally in reach, despite another spritzing of snowfall today.
