Sun drops peeking out

I know these little buds look so brown & beige! But just wait! They are going to turn into beautiful sundrops. Here's a photo from 2005. It seems like a long time away when I look at these little buds covering the ground... The beautiful yellow flowers were taken on Fourth of July last year.

I think its time to go work in my garden!! There's lots of leaves & winter debris to clear out before things can really blume!
