The sun's out, trees are blooming; can spring be far behind?

First time in 5 days we've even seen a _hint_ of the sun. Skies
are blue and almost cloudless today. It's 65 instead of 45.

Japanese plum is in full bloom in the yard. Red maples (Acer
rubrum) are blooming in the swamp.

I can at least START to think of spring. (We're knee deep in
mud, which is even more spring-like.)

Will start repotting next week sometime.

Hooray!

Lucky You Jim !!

6 inches of snow have fallen in central PA today, but the temp is currently
35 F.
We've gone through periods of rain and snow all day long.
Hopefully the rain will win out and I'll be able to find my car in the snow
bank later tonight !!

Jim:

My Japanese Apricot (bonsai) has been flowering for 6 weeks, and I have yet to see signs of spring. );-)
