    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;See, it &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; going to be spring.  They promised.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mmjustus.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/crocus.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-2580 alignnone" alt="crocus" src="http://mmjustus.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/crocus.jpg" width="480" height="470" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mmjustus.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/daffodils.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2581" alt="daffodils" src="http://mmjustus.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/daffodils.jpg" width="480" height="409" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Granted, both the Pickwick crocus and the Tete-a-Tete miniature daffodils (always about a month earlier to bloom than their full-sized cousins) are in the extremely protected, south-facing flower bed by my front door.  Oh, and please do ignore the weeds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;But that sprout at the bottom right hand corner of the daffodil photo?  That&amp;#8217;s a lily.  A true promise for next summer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Making progress.  Even though I had to put the fourth quilt back on the bed last night after being overly optimistic when I took it off on Sunday after I washed the sheets.&lt;/p&gt;
