Spring has sprung

The lemon tree is overloaded (but it bears fruit year-round),

Mmmm, fresh lemonade... Or what do you do with them?

we have some early cherries in bloom here, oddly, some pears, some star magnolias, and the croci and forsythia just coming out. Any gardener would say both the sequence and the timing are insane, but I'm not gonna start a fiasco by mentioning the GW word...

GW = George W ?? :rolleyes:;)

Trees are starting to think about budding - I saw a squirrel in the maple tree yesterday eating buds. But as for blooming, we've got crocuses only. The tulips are about 3-4" tall, so they're a ways off also.

We had a great warm week - highs in the low 20s even, but today it's wet, rained yesterday also, and for the next 4-5 days the night time lows will be approaching 0/freezing.

Outdoor weather, yahoo! The kids are all excited again about riding their bikes, and the two youngest are trying out the two oldest's rollerblades and so on...
 
One local dam, Norfork, has been opened with a record volume of water being released, 83,000 cubic feet per second. A breath holding decision is coming on whether or not to open the big dam, Bull Shoals. If that is opened, it will make Norfork look like a wimpy trickle and down stream consequences will be catastrophic.
