I have continued to do pruning of winterkill and am about half way around the yard for the second pass. I put up the screen panels in the outer doors, repaired the pool cover pump, turned off the heat, for now, and transplanted some ajuga to spots that were asking for a ground cover.
If there are no nasty weather surprises in the next few weeks, it will be a very early spring. We are almost a week ahead of last year, and a couple weeks ahead of ten years ago. Climate change in action.
Bill and Lynn and Leesa and Roger were here for dinner last night. Judy outdid herself once again. We started off outside on the terrace for canapés and had a nice sunset before moving inside.
New blooms: march marigold, Yoshino cherry, boxwood, saucer magnolia, daffodil, Norway maple.

Little yellow flower of boxwood.
More spring yellow. I don't seem to be getting many daffodils this year.
