Calendar Cruelty.

4-12-09 SHORT HILLS: We have had warm and cold, wind and calm, sun and clouds, rain and even a short snow flurry—in other words, New Jersey spring. TSE was certainly right about April. In a few weeks, it’ll be in the eighties every day. Spring seems to be unfolding slowly, but the plants give us a slight bit more leaf every morning. They know what their doing, it’s not prime time yet.

I have continued to do pruning and clean up. I also replaced a rotted door sill on the patio.

At the feeders, the goldfinches are starting to live up to their names.

New blooms: claytonia.


Pachysandra and Squill.
