RE: Spring

Yesterday we had wind advisories with good reason.  There were trees down in
many places.  The wind pruned a few branches for us as well.  Fortunately,
only a small branch hit the roof and we can find no damage as of now.  It
did rain yesterday morning and it is supposed to continue that trend.  The
rains thus far have generally been light, soaking rains.  The ground is now
VERY soft underfoot.  On my walkabout yesterday I discovered both yellow and
blue crocus as well as a small clump of iris reticulata in bloom!  Many
things are greening up too and I want to get out and start cleaning beds,
but the rain is just heavy enough to prevent that.  

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Balmy day here today, but very overcast and humid - not pretty.  We had just
too much humid weather without any precipitation last year - just hope we
aren't going into another such season.  We don't need the rain right now -
snow is still melting - but aside from a couple of snows, it has been a
pretty dry winter.  I really feel for Pam - drought is miserable.
Anyway, the temperatures were in the 60s, and in a protected spot at the
base of the big boulder I found snowdrops and a few crocus!  It's been such
a strange winter, I'm anxious about what may have happened, but at least we
now have the first blossoms.
