Bag geraniums and wild violets

I just love this weather we are having...near 75 degree days when we usually have 40's and a bit of snow and cold winds.. This evening I took a walk around the back yard and I spotted this group of wild violets in bloom.         

I also spotted a tiny batch of miniature daffodils.  One of my favorite.. There are some hyacinths really  and maybe as early as tomorrow. Can't wait to see.

 

        I also got brave and put out a few geraniums that I had saved from last year.. In the fall before   the frost gets them I pull them from the pot and shake off the dirt and put them in a brown paper bag and take them to the basement where they won't freeze and then bring them out when the weather gets nice the following spring..

Has any of you tried this method?  I have always had pretty good luck.

 Below is a few I put in the ground...you can see the new leafs starting to green up and  the plant is coming back to life. 

This one had already started to flower in the bag..     I am hoping we get no frosty weather now but if we do I will cover them..believeme,  I will baby these into nice plants.   Later this summer I will share a picture when they have grown into bigger plants.

 I hope all of you is enjoying nicer weather than normal...of course my grandson is in Gallop New mexico and they had a snow day Monday.. He is ready to come back to some of our warm days with no snow.
