Can't fool me???


Warm weather came early this spring. Last week, the temps were in the 90's. That forced many green growing things to pop up early. The lilacs started blooming last week , and as I walk out the door, the fragrance from the bush hits me. The azaleas are getting ready to pop open, and this is early too. I worried about those old bushes during the all the snow we had this winter. The branches were bent to the ground by the weight of the white stuff, but not one broken branch. I always remember that the azaleas in my parents yard were in full bloom on the day Lou and I tied the knot on Mother's Day weekend 35 years ago.
The warm weather tried to fool me into thinking it's time to start planting the annuals but I kept reminding myself that frost date is May 10 in Baltimore. So glad I didn't give in...it was 34 degrees here this morning.
