Spring report!
Mar. 19th, 2011 05:36 pmIt is a gorgeous, sunny day in the mid 50s here, and everyone who can possibly think of an excuse to work on their gardens/ car/ barbeques/ etc is doing so. In fact, with my car sitting in the sun it was so warm that I had to run the air conditioner!
The low-ground flowers like crocuses and daffodils are out! No rhododendrens yet, but their buds are starting to show cracks of color. The second half of the cherry blossom crop is coming out; all of the cherries that weren't directly in the sunlight are starting to slowly bloom now. Which is just as well, since the ones that DID come out early got caught in the last round of freezing rain and lost most of their petals. :(
The bushes and small trees are putting out leaves! So far the big trees haven't, but a swelling of leaf-buds indicates that they are at least thinking about it.
And that is the spring report!
