They last such a short time...mine are already halfway up, even though we are having light frosts every night now.

The heat is back on at night...sigh.

The flowering trees are holding up well. The magnolias have browned a bit, but the hardier species (pears, crabapples, cherries) are still going strong. Some of the daffodils are fading after a week of blooming. But the tulips are in full force already.

This has been a real, story book Spring!

And I got my Spring fever, and started Spring cleaning. Cleaned out the freezer Sunday. I should be able to resume normal physical activity any day now...never got into spring cleaning mode last year, because it was so cold. Neither the parka nor the heat went off until the second week of June...
