A Grower Perspective

Yesterday I noticed the first wild plum trees in bloom along the east side of the property where the creek flows. It is all so very leafless over there; conifers border the sky and below them grow the lichen covered bare trees. Yet now there is the pale white of the plum trees. Hurray for spring! Also, I filled out my first basketball bracket yesterday and to date I'm 10 and 16, so there you go. It's a six dollar pot and I'm not likely to win but we are having such fun doing it. And yes, today is the first day of spring.
