Yay!<BR/><BR/><B>Lisa ~ </B>The afternoon did warm up a bit and I spent a little time cleaning up. There's a lot more to do, but these days are good for doing it, so it's getting done!<BR/>You're right - 40 degrees now feels like a heat wave! In the fall, it gives us chattering teeth!<BR/><BR/><B>flydragon ~ </B>I can be the weenie, too! When the girls were playing golf on their college golf teams, I was a fair weather fan. If it was too windy, too rainy, or too cold, I didn't follow them around on the course.<BR/><BR/><B>garden girl ~ </B>My hellebores are just now poking through the ground, but I can see they'll have some flowers eventually. This is kind of late for them, but it seems like everything else is a little bit early.<BR/>I'll bet your sedum forests look fabulous! I love seeing the sedums come to life in the spring.<BR/><BR/><B>Chiot's Run ~ </B>I heard on "Plant Talk" on the radio that now is a great time to prune the maples and collect the sap.
