Today is the first day of spring, March 20, although it has felt like spring most days of the month. I've had two gladiolas blooming all of February. Jen took over my usual job of preparing flower beds and setting out the plants. We also planted a satsuma tree and a blackberry vine. Jen has a lemon in a pot, planning to bring it into the house if a freeze comes this winter.
I remember one first day of spring over 40 years ago when several inches of snow fell. I took a picture of the McKenzie home, a large two story building far back from the street, with Redbud trees in full bloom over the snow and the sun shining. It ran of the first page of the Guardian-Journal.
