Yesterday was so beautiful. We had clear bright blues skys with not a cloud in sight. Warm air with an almost tropical breeze blowing. Spring is finally here in good old Virginia. All the trees have buds and the grass is getting greener each day. Its looking like today will be just like it.
spicieangel: Oh i'm jealous were in the high 40's right now.Trees are budding and my lilacs have buds.We can still get snow flurries yet until the end of April.At least the snow is gone and we got some yard work done.
skipinnz: Winter where do you live? Finally we hit almost 60 today was that ever so great to see.I was able to get the baby out, and we went for a long walk.Oppssssss i should say i did the walking she did the riding.
ScarletRose: I had one too.
also,when I was older,I was hiking in the woods near apsley,ontario.found sundew plants & wintergreen growing wild near a bog.
Foxy Lady: I have foxy but unlike you I'm planting the last of my vegies etc before winter. Broad beans will be the last with my bulbs for next spring. Enjoy your fine weather.

nobleheart: Being raised indoors does make trees,ferns etc have a whole new look.I'm raising a banana tree indoors from Fla, and it will probably never reach six ft.

Foxy Lady: ah the joys of the southern hemi, I,m growing my banana out side it gets to 8 foot then the frost knocks it back every year. I dream of the frost free year then I might get bananas lol
