I always have pansies as soon as the Chicago area's weather will allow which is usually around the first week of April. It is zero degrees today with 20-30mph winds and about 3 inches of expected new snow starting to fall. I needed my spring pansies today!

I think you need long johns instead of spring pansies, Kathy. :)
Love the light shining through the bloomers.

A good cure against that kind of weather blues Kathy. The pansies are so colourful and lovely.

They are warming me up as I type, Kathy. They are gorgeous and in superb sunlight. Excellent shot.

Very good use of the lighting, they are lovely. I did some running today, and had my long johns on Kathy, it was damn cold out there.

These certainly do warm the spirits on cold winter days. Good one, Kathy.

----I needed my spring pansies today---

A proper choice Kathy, not only for you but for us as well.
Thanks for this 'warming' post!

A beautiful close up of these colourful blooms, Kathy. It's currently 25C here, with no wind or snow in sight, but then again I'm also sitting inside. You don't want to know about the outside conditions. Let's just say there would be more than some flowers freezing.
