SPRING DECEPTION

Look what I saw yesterday.  The spring signs are all over the yard.  But just 9 days ago it was 29* outside when I started to clean up around the fallen tree and wisteria vines.
A few more spring teaser shots.



Here in Delaware we are experiencing a spring deception because while it has been quite mild the last few days it is going to get cold again.  And who knows, it could even snow in March.  HERE you can see a couple photos of the Blizzard of 1993.  So it could happen ~ hope not though.

Worked more on cutting away at the Wisteria vine and this is what the area looks like now.  But don't let this fool you.  There's much more on the other side of the tree in the background.
Was working on the low hanging fruit until the dumpster got filled again and before the rain starts today.  The white vines in the background will need to be sawed off as they are too thick for my lopper and my upper body strength.  When this dumpster gets emptied next Wednesday I'll concentrate on the hanging vines to the left of the picture.  Those vines extend up the limb on a tree to the far left which you can't see.

Now to go pull a few loops on the plus one which you'll see in my next post.

  2. WOW! So impressed by (and jealous of) your spring harbingers!! We still have a cover of white stuff on the ground despite this week of melting temps. Rumor has it that snow is in the forecast for tomorrow. Hope not...I have to go into town. Think I will be able to join you for a little 5 binding today...eek...just 40 minutes from now. Better get my act together! ~Robin~

  3. Nice to see the pretty crocus !!! Hope it doesn't get real cold in your area again .
    Things are melting here & rain today has really helped , but will be cold again Sunday & Monday , just hope we don't have sheets if ice again .
    Pulling loops is more fun than your yard work ! It is good to be outside in the fresh air though.
