More Signs of Spring

Aren't pansies cheerful little flowers?  I usually get a flat of them in the fall so that I can have something blooming all winter and early in the spring.  The unseasonably warm weather we have had lately has made my pansies be especially cheerful. 

This pot greets me as I climb the step onto the back porch.  There are more pots of them sprinkled here and there on the porch.  These sit right by the back door.

I also noticed this friend poking its head up right beside the steps.  I think this is the lily that I have moved twice from previous houses. 

Aren't bulbs wonderful flowers?
