Yesterday I took a photo of a teeny tiny green bud on a tree here. <BR/><BR/>No crocus yet, but soon I hope. <BR/><BR/>I am used to my downstate gardening and things would already be in bloom there, at least crocus wise!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for these images and words and for how they thaw my heart.<BR/><BR/>Is Susankay in NM too?Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222643.post-9596104753940548512008-03-17T20:21:00.000-06:002008-03-17T20:21:00.000-06:00oh, it's so great to see these!oh, it's so great to see these!Diane M.

Or much else for that matter. <BR/><BR/>We head down to Albuquerque tomorrow and I cannot tell you how I yearn for spring (slthough it holds no guarantees). We just got 5 inches of snow today. It is lovely but it is hard to stay appreciating the now rather than yearn for a green and blooming tomorrow.susankayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15513759507628166408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222643.post-50777792509866950022008-03-17T18:47:00.000-06:002008-03-17T18:47:00.000-06:00Thanks for the wishes, Grandmère.

I have 7 trees in my yard; they are semi-dwarf and once they begin to take off I shall prune them severely to keep plucking within easy reach (not more than a small step ladder at most).<BR/><BR/>Having lived most of my life in either the Los Angeles area of the Berkeley area, I am accustomed to things in bloom year round also. There are times when some of the trees are bare, but with evergreens in the north and palms in the south, one still sees a lot of year-round greenery. I remember the hibiscus on my college campus, and camellias in January, etc. In the East Bay we had spring by the end of January (and very cold, foggy days in July and August).<BR/><BR/>Gardening, like life, is an adventure.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06090720645937634051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222643.post-35809583541718820132008-03-17T18:37:00.000-06:002008-03-17T18:37:00.000-06:00The flowers are lovely.

I hope that they're not too early.<BR/><BR/>We hardly know about waiting for flowers here, because we have something blooming nearly all year round. Now it's the azaleas and the petunias. A little while back, it was camellias. Sometimes I think that I don't properly appreciate what flowers we have, because we always have them.<BR/><BR/>I hope your trees bear tasty fruit.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222643.post-64996363624136859712008-03-17T17:59:00.000-06:002008-03-17T17:59:00.000-06:00Glorious!Glorious!Kirstinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928583212781425068noreply@blogger.com
