This week, we've had a spell of unusually warm March weather. With temperatures in the 70s for several days, it goes without saying that the snow is gone and spring is here. This is crazy-early, though, for this kind of warmth and everyone is enjoying it with a waiting-for-the-other-shoe kind of foreboding.
The crocuses are in full bloom and the tulips seem to gain an inch a day. We've begun to clear out the winter mess from the flower beds and the lilacs have buds. If we get snow again, and you've got to admit it's likely, it's going to hurt.
