    The sun was out and the little bit of snow that we got Sun. morning is melted. Looked at the 2 climatis vines and they were showing buds down low, so got them pruned back. Picked up some small sticks in the yard and walked around in the sunshine. Still a little chilly as it only got up to 45F. but still it felt good. Have got some daffys up about 1 1/2 inches. Looked but no sign of the wild blood root yet.

    Doesn't it feel reallygood to be outdoors doing things again? It looks as though spring has decided to visit you - now just let's hope it stays around. :-D

    You certainly have earned a day in the sun! While you were pruning and tidying, did the deer watch you?

    It probably won't last. Here in Ohio they have a saying. Once the Forsythia blooms, there will be 3 more snows. And it hasn't bloomed yet!

    Gee Captain, You need a new saying. Sounds like winter will not end for weeks.
