now is this isn’t a sure sign of spring, i don’t know what is…

“spring makes its own statement,
so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of his instruments,
not the composer.”

Not sure about fairies and elves, but if you want to know when Spring has started, get a dog. Ollie is moutling for England, ready for his summer coat! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Supposed to be a very springlike day in greater Denver today (60s), but we’ve been getting warnings for two days about the next snowstorm coming in tomorrow. Weather this time of year is always a battle, but Spring wins eventually. The rule of thumb has always been “Don’t do any planting until after Mother’s Day.” I’ll be opening the windows when I finish here.
