Happy Spring everyone!

Today is the first day of spring. The magnolia tree is producing big fat buds in preparation for the April/May blooming season. I hope the snow stays away. The French pussy willow is still waiting for a warmer day to burst forth-but that could be any day now.

The big dog, George, is in full spring moult-ugh- dog hair everywhere. He has a triple coat and leaves piles of hair in his wake. Think of Pig Pen from the cartoon Peanuts. Thank goodness that only lasts about a month.

This Spring- may your sunshine be bright and your allergies light. Cheers!
