Spring comes to my neighborhood . . . *&&**%&

The coming week promises to be warmer, with possible showers an average of each three days.

thanks for sending us a much appreciated present to usher in daylight savings time !

taken from the front porch just around noon time - and more on the way

those three foot cedars i planted last spring are putting up a valiant struggle !

Next time you should plant four foot cedars.

The one in the middle is dead, impaled by an icicle.

I've been in the backyard a couple of times through the front end of this storm - brushing snow off a very skinny 8 foot cedar - and pushing it back upright.

i like to start them small and toughen them up - tough love around here .
small transplanted cedars seem to survive much better than the larger transplants .
neighbours that planted six-foot cedars , found that the winter sun damaged the cedars badly - turned brown and had to be pulled out .

I would expect nothing less from you, Beth.
