This past winter and spring were from hell. Mother Nature was definitely in a foul mood! We have surpassed a record snowfall and freezing temperatures that were last experienced one hundred years ago. You can just imagine my delight. The terrible weather really left me uninspired and with a touch of the winter blues. Miraculously it appears all of our trees and shrubs managed to survive our Siberian-esque winter. Finally buds are starting to form on the trees and I hope to see them bursting with new life in the next couple of weeks.
