It's spring! Things are already blooming. And frankly they'e been going since march this year.

No idea what this bush is, but it's one of the first things in my garden to go and the bees LOVE it. |
Well I think it's pretty safe to say that spring has sprung for real at last, but man did mother nature pull a good april fool's joke on us. I think this has been the strangest winter ever. Not really any snow, and if there was some it never stuck around for long. The ground never really ever froze. My backyard has seen much better says with the puppies playing on it all winter. Trust me I'm totally over the muddy puppies. At least now the grass is starting to finally fill in and will hopefully start limiting the mud coming in. As if that all wasn't enough we were seeing Magnolia trees in almost full bloom in MARCH! I have to say it made tax season a little nicer this year. That is until mother nature decided to throw a wrench in the works.

Magnolia Tree Pretty much full bloom in March |

Bleeding Heart already way up and it was only March |
Very happy that things are already coming up this year. Looks like we may have lost a few plants even with the mild winter, but man do the roses seem like they've enjoyed the mild winter. I've already got lots of leaves breaking out including new branches already. Can't wait to see how the summer goes with them.

And Mother Nature plays a trick on us. Guess Magnolias don't like it cold. Good thin there were still parts of the tree that hadn't bloomed yet. It's starting to look like spring again. |
As tax season wraps up on Tuesday let the season begin.
