This morning we woke up to a white blanket covering everything visible to our eyes. As the morning progressed into the afternoon, the green layers began peeking out. Is it really spring yet? Yes it is. This is nothing too out of the ordinary. The savvy amongst us, plant nothing till May 1st. They know any moment, snow could fall and take with it sensitive plantings. This also is a reminder of the changing seasons of North Country, and how life is never too boring in this rural area.

Spring is here! Even if the grounds paint another picture....

I never plant anything up here until Mother's Day. Last year we had great April weather and I got fooled, planted annuals the first week of May and lost them all to a hard frost. Never again. And to the locals who say late snows are poor man's fertilizers, I say: I'd rather have to do the fertilizing myself!

We are well.
Drove through Jersey enroute to West Virginia.
Cannot believe how things are already way past what they are in North Country.
Enjoy the spring/summer.
Keep me posted of what else you are doing in your world in NJ.
