BRRRRRRRRRRRR! good morning all March 14th only a week till spring! I saw a robin but couldnt see its red breast under its winter jacket it was putting on! I was in the garden yesterday warm and sunny the robin was singing away. Then a huge black cloud rolled across the sky and the temps fell and the winds picked up. Put my coat back on and worked a tad longer fighting with my hair blowing in my face. The leaves that i had started to rake were flying all over the place so i came inside and POUTED!!! I sure hope this is the last cold blast we get and that spring will push winter out of MICHIGAN!

I have spring bulbs trying to grow and cant wait to see some color in the garden-dayme said the other day driving by the garden: Mom your garden doesnt look so pretty right now-nothing looks pretty i told him, the grass is brown the trees are bare, but in a couple weeks life will be breathed back into everything. The yuccas are still green and looking good-lol

My family from alabama is arriving sunday-boy are they in for a weather awaking change when they arrive. LOL How will i ever talk them into moving back home with temps in the 30s and in alabama yesterday it was 80s!! They keep trying to pull me south and every LONG winter I think it sure makes more sense to go south! Darn long tap root growing out of my feet!!! Why did that stork mix me up-i should have been dropped in a tropical setting (chuckle) I know there is a girl in the south that is sweating her bunz off wishing she had been dropped up north! ;)

Jaclynn I was in your area sunday at my sons old house getting some stuff out of there -im sure i will need to go back and help move more-he has a new townhouse in Mt pleasant -kid moves way to much!

So what is everyone doing? You ready for spring? Orders coming? Hoes sharpened? seed packets ready?
give me a week of warmth and i will fill the GH with divisions for sales and trading!

everyone has checked out berts site right- great plants and prices get those orders in!!! Everyone loves to get a box full of plants in the mail! my mailman is going to shoot me this yr i think! LOL
