spring has sprung!

• Bob sprayed some barberry around the perimeter of the yards
• Bets started cleaning out some of the gardens
• daffodils are abundant, forsythia is blooming, flowering quince is just about to burst, a few early tulips are about to bloom
• no sign of fish, but several frogs plopped into the pond and a toad hopped in the garden
• turned water on so Bob could use the hose to fill the Roundup sprayer; turned off again before we left
• friends and cousins are starting to call to see when Anna Ruth is returning. there were several messages on the machine.
• 70 Degrees Fahrenheit! Trees will be leafed out soon!
• Bob found a tiny tick crawling on him when we got home! I guess the winter is really over.
