Spring....she be a coming!

 

2011 Flowers

We are at 66 degrees today!  For all this week are supposed to be ranging around 20 degrees above normal.  I have signs of Spring all over my gardens.  I sure hope Mother Nature won't be deciding we need any more frigid snowy weather.  I am so ready for the smell of fresh cut grass and flowers.  

I hope your all having a wonderful start to your week!  

Springtime is the land awakening.  The March winds are the morning yawn.

Finally some snow!

And now.....it can melt. ;)  I would of been happy if it had just passed us here in New York altogether. ;)  It sure was a heavy wet snow.  We sure were not up to shoveling.  I had been down with the stomach flu for four days and Bill for a couple days.  But if we wanted to get out of our driveway we were shoveling.  Every year I talk about getting a snow blower and every year we don't.  Maybe next year. ;)  Here are a couple shots around the yard of what I hope is our first and last real accumulating snow of the winter.

With no snow on the limbs we are able to walk under these branches.

A little potted evergreen

The limbs are so heavy with snow they are laying on my Blazer.

I hope you've all had a good week.  After the flu all week and then snow...this weekend has got to get better. ;)
