Spring?

 

If I see that ground hog, he's dead!

Spring arrived at 7:02 this morning but you wouldn't know by the weather. Seems like we have a few more days of snow and cold to get through before we'll see anything resembling spring-like temperatures and the long term forecast is for a late cool spring season. Which means I don't feel quite so disorganized about not having a single vegetable seed started yet!

But everything outdoors is more than ready for it. I took a little spring advance in the form of some plum and dogwood branches and  it didn't take long for them to burst out in blossoms.

  Throw in a few hot house iris and you can pretend that spring is in the air instead of just more snow...
