After a long cold winter, with record snowfall, here in Massachusetts we have had a couple of false starts to spring.
Hopefully, it is now here to stay.Daffodils and forsythia have peaked. The buds on the trees have started to leaf out with that lovely pale yellow/green color. Grass so dark green it hurts your eyes with accented with spring colored new leaves and dark yellow forsythia is about to dominate the countryside. My absolute favorite time of year!!.
Best of all, the milkweed, A. syriaca is pushing up to almost two inches out of the ground! Can the monarchs be far behind?
