Hi Sharon, good to see you too :)
When I lived in Maine I felt that Spring would never arrive, especially when my sisters would tell me about the daffodils in March that they were seeing. But I found that by the end of May we had pretty much caught up. Not much comfort when there's still snow on the ground I know.. This has been a particular long and cold winter for us in Britain, so I'm eagerly anticipating spring blooms!
