We had a relatively drag-y sort of winter... you know, the type that seems to not want to end. We had just a couple of heavy snows, and the rest of the winter was dry and cold. A week ago, I was beginning to prepare the beds for upcoming vegetable planting, and I wondered if my Lilacs were dead. Two days later, after a bit of warmth and rain, and WOW... everything is popping out all over.
We live along a wonderful Earlysville road, Bleak House Road. Spring along Bleak House is particularly breathtaking...
