Betsi, please take pictures! What a nice trip!
We are having signs that spring is coming. There are birds singing, chipmunks running around, and deer out. I saw geese out yesterday too. Sadly, road kill is an indication that spring is here because it means that the animals are coming out of wherever they go for the winter, and I have seen some of that too.
I planted a couple of tiny pots of Forget me Nots, and I see tiny shoots coming up! There is still a lot of snow around, but it is melting, so I can plant my bulbs soon.
It's a beautiful, sunny day today. I can't put plants out on the deck yet, but as soon as the temperature stays above freezing, I will plant my boxes and set out the indoor plants. I have last year's fuscia plant in my pantry. It is very cold in there, and I cut back all of the branches on the fuscia last fall. I checked it out online and it said to only water it to keep the wood from drying out. There are lots of new stems coming up. I'll cut them off; they are too sun poor. I'll put it out when it gets much warmer. I think it might make it through another summer!
I am very excited!
