Spring at it's best

Just over two weeks into April and the weather has taken an unusual turn for the best.  So nice in fact I had to take a walk in our woods to see how our hiking trail conditions were after the winter season.  As expected there are a few trees across the trail; some in need of chainsaw removal, but mostly basic cleanup. It's like summer in the forest folks and you can't help loving it! 

April 16th

Okay, am I crazy or are we having August weather in April? It was beautiful today, but a little warm for me this time of year. Not that I'm looking for more snow, but it's April. I need a couple months of cool breezes before the heat comes this way.

April and the Snow is gone?

Yes, this winter has really been different. Here we are in April and the grass is green, birds in the trees and I'm thinking of flower ideas for the garden. How did this happen?

I've been excited about early planting before and then we received two snow storms that April. So I think I'll just sit back and read a good book.
