Andromeda's Day.

3-29-13 SHORT HILLS: We have had several cookie-cutter days with some sun, moderate breeze and temps in the fifties.

After a walk around the yard, I saw robins active in the driveway junipers and decided to prune them now, rather than when the birds had an active nest. A few snips and a bit of sawing later, I had a small pile of snow/plow damaged branches which we took to the dump. It wasn’t too difficult even in the boot.

There was a red-winged blackbird at the feeder yesterday, traveling with the grackles, as usual.

New blooms: andromeda.


Andromeda is a broad leaf evergreen and an early bloomer that beats out forsythia.
