Well, now I'm starting to get excited. [View all]

It's starting to feel like really (really, really) early spring here. One of the large lakes I drive by ever day is about half opened up. A few tentative sprouts are popping up here and there, daffodils, crocus foliage (no buds yet by any means), and I think the pussy willow and aspen catkins should start to open soon.

If it's decent this weekend, I think I'm going to work on cleaning out and prepping the greenhouse for the spring onslaught, and start thinking about doing some late winter pruning of fruit trees and berry bushes.

Yeah, spring!
