    Buckeye Chuck, the groundhog predicted an early spring, and he was right on the money. We have dafs up with flower buds, lillys are up. Shrubs with leaf buds on them. The one climatis also is starting to get leaves. And the clincher was a Robin stomping for worms in the front yard a little bit ago! Even though this has been one of the mildest winters that I can remember since I moved back to Ohio, it seems that it has been soooooo long. Wed. they are saying a high of 66 F with thunder showers!

    Had high 40's today. Melted the wet snow we got Friday. Lot of muddy feet wiping with the dogs. But this winter sure helped on heating bill. To get mixed bag Tuesday. Seems every Tuesday we have some rain or snow.

    Buckeye Chuck has 'spoken'. :) The seeds have arrived, we can now do our spring planting. I have already started. Planting in February will be a joy.

    Capt, Hooray! I have a few little Daffs and Crocus poking up, but not much more. I'll bet you're feeling some spring fever about now.
    We have rain today, and a chance of thunder storms. Nothing says spring to me like a good clap of thunder!

    My daffodils are up in my east flower bed next to the house but we are suppose to get snow and quite windy here later tonight....But right now we don't have any snow on the ground.. Up north they might get as much as 12 inches but it is the wet heavy stuff. We are only suppose to get around 5 inches.
