NO APRIL FOOL'S JOKE


We love an early spring, but 81 degrees and sunny on March 31st and April 1st gets a bit bright and hot!



It has been so dry, and the moisture we have received so minimal, I watered and fertilized our trees today. The flowering crab apples are blooming, and the pansies that started growing in our rock garden last year are already beginning to show.



The maples and the linden tree are holding back a bit, but this pear tree is taking off big time, with the apples trailing behind. The temperatures are supposed to drop tomorrow, going below freezing during the night, an inevitable peril of such an early spring. JIR
