Spring Today, Winter Tomorrow.

3-9-17 SHORT HILLS: We are supposed to fly to Los Gatos, CA tomorrow to see the West Coasters and hear Eoin’s concert, but the incoming snowstorm makes our departure iffy. We have boarding passes, and our bags are packed, but we’re worried about getting out. Actually one of us is much more worried than the other. And, coming back to Tuesday might have us in another storm.

Today was warm and windy. I was outside doing more pruning and trimming, yesterday also, and put granular lime on the grass and forsythia and lilacs, all of whom like things a bit on the alkaline side of neutral pH. I also fertilized all the spring bulbs that are showing shoots or flowers.

New blooms: snowflakes, more crocuses.


A lot like snowdrops, but with some extra frills.

White crocus.
