Spring Ahead

The sparrows sound like they’re happy, robins meet the dawn with their soothingly familiar tune, there’s a squirrel that frequents our locale who just lounges about from time to time. High overhead, Canada and maybe Snow Geese have been heading north.

The crocuses are up and blooming, lilies are 6” tall, what grass we have is greening up, the hydrangeas and clematis are trimmed. We bought a soil thermometer the other day, so we can keep tabs on the germination schedule of all the crabgrass in our back yard—gonna try to nip that in the bud, so to speak, this time around. And we might even get a soil sample kit and send it off to Penn State.

It’s like we’re being serious horticulturalists this year. Looking forward to getting started.
