We had a week of dreary, rainy weather here last week but now it's like springtime (the past few days anyway) and I'm loving the sunshine and low to mid 70 temperature's. I've been out "play-working" in the yard the past two days; I so want to prune but I know it's a bit too early for that just yet. We must wait until about mid-march here before pruning and trimming stuff back because even though it's rare we've been known to have a frost or even a freeze in early March. For now I will just pull weeds, run around and play frisbee with the dog and just enjoy the nice weather. Last week I was wishing I could send some rain to drought stricken California ... and I wish I could share some of this pretty weather with some of you in the north. Hang in there ... Spring is on the way!
