Spring is coming
 

Hives of bees are in the orchards
The early almond trees are in bloom.

Red-shouldered hawks are calling loudly
Their nests will be ready soon.

Bees fly in holding patterns at the golden daffodils
They take their sip and away they zoom!


That's what Spring is doing here in Northern California.
I hope she will soon be visiting YOUR area, too.
We also got a little bit of rain.

She is here. The red-tailed hawk returned to its nest yesterday and
started to rebuild the nest they used last year to raise a single
chick. The daffodils are now 6" high. From 10 degree cold snap last
Wednesday to 65 degrees today and I still see a small patch of snow on
the ground. Time to sharpen the mower blades. It rained this morning
for a short while, now full sun--that's east TN.

Spring is coming
 

I'm worried that a very fickle Spring is going to pop in for a brief visit,
get all the plants excited enough to bud, then disappear in the wake of a
terrible freeze.
It is much too warm for this time of year here, and warmer in the coming
week.
70's are expected.

Stay asleep little plants....
