nudging out winter
i just pulled up the forecast and see we have rising temperatures for the next 10 days. it appears we have finally nudged out winter, and soon the sap will start to run and the final few weather beaten leaves from last summer will be pushed from the trees to make room for the the swelling buds.
I see it happening here too. We still have a lot of snow, but with these warmer days, there will be bare ground soon enough. I saw a robin yesterday so that is hopeful!
