Springtime in Ottawa

This has been a hellish week for the poor crocuses - warm enough to pop up, and then a crushing twenty five degree temperature drop to start the weekend, followed by snow overnight last night. For perseverance alone they deserve a medal. Despite the grim setting of wet snow their hardiness is a shot in the arm in these challenging times. To say nothing of the sad early tulip leaf trying to get in on the action.
