Can you believe that the official start of Spring is just a month away? While that may be the official date, I'm not so sure that we're not going to see an early spring this year. In our neck of the woods, we really haven't had much of a winter other than a few piddly snows not even worthy of trying out the hub's new snowblower on. He's been down in the dumps about that all season.
I'm not the only one that's betting on an early Spring either. Looking at our trees yesterday, they all have huge buds on them. And I just read this about the grizzlies in Yellowstone that have woken up from their long winter hibernation almost a month early. Yep, it's around the corner. That cranky ol' Punxatawney Phil may have predicted 6 more weeks of winter, but I'm pretty sure he was referring only to those poor folks in the Northeast and not us lucky people here in the bread basket.
I've got seed catalogs to flip through and seed organizing to do. Garden plans need to be made. Early seeds need to be planted. Where are we going to move the apple trees? or the blackberries? And where do the strawberries go this year?
So much to do! The clock is ticking...
p.s. Happy Valentine's Day!
