Out Like a Lion

Forget hard frosts -- tonight we finally had seasonable weather for this time of year. That's right, it snowed.


I took the picture tonight with the flash, since the snow will probably be gone by morning (at any rate, the weekend is supposed to warm up again).

Flash photography is not one of my strong suits. And besides, I was out for dinner and drinks tonight so that might be why the composition of this photo sucks, but I like the way the snow turned out.

Told You It Was Too Early

So, a couple of days after the magnolia started blooming, we got a hard frost. Bye bye blooms.

Too Early!

The magnolia in the front yard is blooming today. It's about a month too early for this.


Most of it is the highly unseasonable warm weather we've been having. But also, we removed the big honey locust tree last year and this is the first spring we've had without it.

The garden is getting more of the sun that's there, and there's more sun to get. Boy is it making a difference.

Early Signs of Spring

I think this is about the earliest I've seen crocuses come up in the garden. We had a very mild winter this year, and it looks like Spring is following suit.
