Four Days Later....

 The wisteria and trumpet vines are pruned, awaiting the (explosive) Spring growth spurt.  The asparagus bed is being cleaned up--there are already some enterprising weeds and acorn sprouts to pull, and the leaf mulch will be discarded.  And....the bulbs are blooming!  The warm 60+ degree weather has encouraged early performance.  Delightful!

Does this mean that even global warming has its up-side?

The pictures below were taken February 21st.  Note the changes from February 19th above...

Our weather continues to be warm and dry.  Everything is in a hurry!  Even standing ten feet away, I could detect the fragrance from the blooms.  So cheerful!

 Doesn't this make you smile?
