It’s that time of year when we are all on Mother Nature’s rollercoaster – whether we like it or not!

One day warm and sunny, the next, freezing and snowing. Depsite the ups and downs, most of the snow has melted from the yard and gardens. The ground is still really frozen, but there are lots of little bits of green poking up.

Even some of the perennials are showing signs of life… like my beloved yarrow.

But for now, the most exciting thing in the yard is still the pink pussywillow.

It’s really showing off this year. It hasn’t been warm enough yet for the bees to visit… but this coming weeks forecast is looking pretty good… I miss my little buzzing friends!
