It's (spring) here.

My daylillys sprouted. They will freeze back almost nightly till mid May or snow or Spring.

Mine sprouted last week.

Hyacinths are poking their top sprouts out, can't wait for the aroma !!

 

[begreen]

Good to hear this. Our hyacinths are in full bloom. The house is filled with that aroma.

I can see a small patch of dead grass on my front lawn ... being guarded by snowbanks.

Mine are supposed to be in the middle of this picture

It's not quite here... yet. But the Pride has abandoned the litter box for the soft earth next to the foundations, so that's a good sign!

Sleet, freezing rain this morning. Ah, Spring!

Woodburner's hell has begun. 62 right now at ten thirty at night. Now we start going up and down like a basketball for a few weeks.

40F right now, down the 35ish, then 50 + tomorrow.

Hmm ... do I dare to do so ... maybe I too will tempt fate and do this today or tomorrow.

As soon as I stop building an overnight fire the house sparrows have the chimney packed with nesting by 7am. I have to be up early to pelt them with tennis balls.

I suspect you folks will go into instant spring/summer and very soon leap past us. We just set the all time record for rainiest March and the month is not over yet!

We're about to have a deluge, 4 - 5 inches of rain predicted this weekend. It should take care of the ashes left over from trying to deice the driveway over the winter.

So much for my pallet cutting & wood splitting plans this weekend

I did notice tiny buds on the lilacs this morning when Murph & I were on patrol

Nastiness in the form of heavy, flooding rain due in Sunday-Monday (multiple inches). Melting is occurring and guess what?! we can remove the cover on the unsplit rounds and get splittin'! (good man is grateful for the coincidence of rain and Sunday's round of March Madness). All remaining firewood is now in the wheelbarrow in the barn and both wood boxes are full. Doesn't take a big fire to make a difference and keep the spaces cozy, so sucking it up and paying for oil doesn't seem so extravagant these days.

I trimmed Hydrangea anomala petiolaris this afternoon, next up will be Clethra "Ruby Spice", after that Hydrangea paniculata and a basic "clean up" for the Hydrangea macrophyllas. And the then general yard/perennial bed clean up. (and oh! how I ogled those hyacinths... Hamamalis x intermedia "Diane" is in full bloom... very pretty!)

Sorry I couldn't post it as a scratch 'n sniff Bobbin.

 

[Bobbin]

Me, too, lol. (late on-set "cabin fever")

Long range for us is below normal all of April.....

We had a crappy spring a couple years ago. It was cold and damp right through June. No fun.

Poured rain all day. Gonna do it all day tomorrow. If another vortex had dropped in we would be under 10 feet of snow.
