We had three days of beautiful weather earlier in the week, but the last two days have been cold and rainy. I’ve started a couple of projects out in the yard, but I haven’t been able to make much progress. And if this cold weather continues I’m going to need to split more wood and carry it to the garage so my Beautiful Bride will be comfortable in the evenings.
Our crocus have bloomed and are just about completely gone. Nothing else has begun to bloom. I will say that the grass is greening up very nicely, so I guess I will have to think about checking out the mower one of these days.
I’ve started to partially uncover the roses. Most of them are showing signs of new growth and need to be cut back. I won’t completely uncover the roses until I’m fairly confident that freezing temperatures are behind us.
So while I’m waiting for Spring to get serious about coming and staying here on the Plateau, I’ll try to stay warm by remembering what the roses looked like last year.
