Dont be too envious, the temp fell down to 32 this morning and hopefully the coldness did not cause too much damage. That is always an issue with early springs, with a freezing night here and there once everything starts to pop up. Soon you too will be seeing these signs of spring...Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-61820410850284333312009-02-16T17:18:00.000-06:002009-02-16T17:18:00.000-06:00Looks like spring is going strong!
