I'm with you there, sister. I'm tired of cold, gray days. I hope you're right, but last year we had late frosts. I think it was early May before I could put the trees outside. But my crab apples are starting to bloom.

Spring is definitely starting to roll in here. SO MANY thunder storms the past several days, my goodness. My daffodils started blooming but are having a hard time not lying in the mud with the pounding rain and wind we have been having up here. Some early cherries are starting to bloom, the maples have their small red flowers busting forth. I have a few more days of storms before I'll see the sun this weekend. I am thinking hard about looking around and making final decisions on starting some air layers and doing a little collecting before things break buds up here on the mountain now the valley below is waking up.

'I know where that dude comes from'

I’m still under snow and ice. Spring...it is near though.

Yes, the first image is a commiphora and the last 3 are Ficus Natalensis. Had trouble with the post and did not include this info.

I know- same here- just trying to stay positive. Hahaha. We just got about 11 inches of snow in the last week. I am hoping it will melt soon.
