It looks like winter today but the blackthorn knows that it's Spring!

As the snow continues to melt here I feel confident I’ll be able to find a frozen Mastodon.

Wenn der Frühling sich an einen Fahrplan halten würde, müsste das eigentlich genau so aussehen 😎. #Springtime 2023 officially started 🚀!

I repotted my son's tree this afternoon. New pot and soil. I hope it's heavy duty enough to not blow over next rainy day. I received it 3 years ago and surprised it lasted so long. (I do not have a green thumb lol)

Signs of spring! What a difference from last week when we had 8 inches of snow.
The first camellia flower has opened and a massive bumble bee with a red and orange striped bottom was enjoying the red cowslips.



This afternoon will be the warmest so far. I’ll try to do at least something outside. After that comes a few days of rain.
Almost all snow is gone but the ice on the lake remains.
Yesterday, driving home, I saw a flock of geese flying in formation high up and heading north. Good sign!
I really need to make a new to do-list.

Well, I'm not too late for St. Patties Day and spring is just about around the corner. The best I got for this season is Poison Ivy: Nature's Road Pt 2.

Green flowers symbolize nature, life and rejuvenation as well as youth and good fortune in some parts of the world.

There’s been a well-documented shift toward earlier #springtime #flowering in many #plants as the world warms. The trend alarms biologists because it has the potential to disrupt carefully choreographed interactions between plants and creatures; #butterflies, #bees, #birds, #bats and others—that #pollinate them.

"Though we live in a world that dreams of ending
that always seems about to give in
something that will not acknowledge conclusion
insists that we forever begin."

After an extended weekend, out of town for a couple of nights then a couple more days off mostly spent outside working on the garden, today I’m back inside working - staring at computer monitors - while the mind wants to be elsewhere. Outside it’s gorgeous #spring weather & not that far away this is going on…so here’s some more of the #Texas #wildflower photos I took last weekend while driving the #backroads between Austin & Houston.

We are officially six weeks from May 1st, here in SE Wisconsin. That means 8 weeks to last frost.
I am absolutely thrilled to have started my plants as early as I did. It gives me time to get them bigger and stronger, as well as do a second sowing of anything that does not do well, or anything I want a second plant/second planting on.
This weeks goals are to get my 4-6 week seeds planted, and get some of my cold hardy plants outside.
On top of that, I have another raised bed to build (8x4x1), trellises need to be moved and/or placed, the ground needs to be mulched, and I need to finish weeding what I can.
Planting/garden/farm season is about to be in FULL SWING and I couldn't be more excited.

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

Garden spirits roam
Beneath the shrimp plants
Along the hibiscus
Between the orchids
Hanging soulfully
Their names carved
Into oddly shaped stones
A constant reminder
Of sweet furry paws
Gentle giants and little friends
Never forgotten

Went for a hike with my old man today at McKinney Falls State Park. It was sunny, in the upper 70s with a constant breeze. Wildflowers are popping. What a joy!

#TodayInMyGarden a tree covered in wisteria. The scent is amazing but you can see how invasive it is in my area. Oak trees are blooming at least a month early. Sky is blue and clear of the pollen haze we have had, but expect it will come back soon. This is the worst year for pollen in a long time. #gardening #SpringFlowers #springtime

I've finished this week's art project of American robin chicks in soft pastel. I think the birds look good but I'm not as happy with the foliage. This artwork will work well for spring greeting card designs though.
See the art in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/hungry-robin-chicks-in-the-nest-mm-anderson.html and soon in other sites listed in my profile.
