It’s April 3rd, Good Friday, and it’s 67ยบ outside my window. Spring has arrived and winter is slowly receding from New England. It has left it’s mark. Below, a previously globe-shaped bush has flattened under the weight of the snow…
The poor young Honeycrisp apple tree took a beating…
And I neglected to cut back the hibiscus…but the snow took care of that for me.
One of the butterfly bushes bowed under pressure…
The plows mercilessly shoved the curbing aside…
And something burrowed under it all…
But there are happy signs, too. The forsythia bush is budding…
And the tulips are poking through…
But, best of all…MY SEED POTATO ARRIVED IN THE MAIL!!!!!
Welcome, spring, welcome!
