In the mean time, the flowers and trees are doing their best to make a go of it. The daffodils have been threatening to open for days, but they're still not quite ready.
And what a difference a year makes, eh? Here's that same area on March 23, 2012.
Granted, last year was an anomaly in the opposite extreme - ridiculously warm very early then a destructive freeze. I'll take a slow going spring over that any day.
Just look at the comparisons from this year to last (4/14/13 vs 3/23/12).

We have quite a bit of clean up to do as well.
It'll be beautiful once again... eventually!
(like this - from 5/20/11)
What a difference!
ReplyDeleteYesterday was a glorious spring-day so we enjoyed sitting outside and planting some fruit! We moved into our new house after Christmas so we're still going to have to do a lot of planting if we want a garden like yours :)
Hi Kelly
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. We have very few buds and none are even considering opening anytime soon. It has been milder these last few days and I believe the weather in the South of England has been lovely over the weekend so there is hope. We had severe winds yesterday with pelting rain with a smattering of sunshine and my poor daffodils took a hammering. Sorry for rambling on :):):)
