Over Night

Post by High Miles
The ground has turned bright green.
Bushes are sporting pale green lace.
Yesterday it still looked like late winter.
Now
I'm wondering if there's gas in the tractor to cut the damn grass.

I awoke to two inches of heavy wet snow. :-)

Friend in Pennsylvania says forsythia is in bloom there. 58 species of
hummingbirds seen in Mexico:

Yes, forsythia going full speed ahead from MD to WV. Came through KY
at night, so didn't see, but along that new freeway form Lexington to
Paducah, there are signs for at 5 or 6 distilleries, implicitly offering tours.

Way up here I've got snowdrops in bloom, and buds on the daffodils, crocus
in bloom, and the early poplar flowers are beginning to show. Green shoots
of wild onion showing, and leaves of adder's tongue and Dutchman's breeches
showing. The rain we've had has been wonderful, and the slow and even thaw
will help the farmers a great deal, we all hope.

Snow melts just in time
The skinny deer eats myrtle
Silent as the mime

We've had a couple of late hard freezes, but the flowering trees are going
full out, as usual.

The buffalo grass and leafy thistles and some wild flowers have taken over my
lawn while the Bermuda was dormant. Its having a hard time greening up -
I'm hoping they'll kill it off and I can have some edible plants avoid
strangulation.
But the city has given me notice, I'll have to conform or they'll devastate the
place again. (The totally topped off last year peonies have come back well, and
the horseradish is looking good too.)
