The sadness was found in me while looking at a mushy stem after that horrible weather had warmed a bit again and I realized what I had lost. That's why, as much as I look forward to spring, I am in not quite as big a hurry as I once was. It will come (spring) and the more gradual it is, the better it is for everything.
And for as warm as this spring has been, it really hasn't been at all like 2007 was for us. The temps started warming this year gradually in late February. We didn't go from 30 to 70s and 80 overnight, which screws everything up. It has been more gradual, making me feel a little bit better about possible outcomes. But then I have no choice but to comply with what Mother Nature shells out, right?
