It was almost 50*!! All winter we've had snow, it melts within a week, snow, melts within a week, etc. Usually, once we have snow, it stays until March or April (depending on the year).<br /><br />We do have a short growing season here though.Tracy Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538902832996197236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-80865888223670737462012-03-06T07:39:21.994-08:002012-03-06T07:39:21.994-08:00Wow, 4" of snow in WI - Tracy, I hope it all ...Wow, 4" of snow in WI - Tracy, I hope it all melts soon and you will see spring blooms. <br /><br />Merrilee, Florida sounds lovely. That would be so nice to have flowers blooming year-around.<br /><br />Deby, I love wisteria, red buds, and azelas! Can't wait to see some more of those in our area. <br /><br />The forecast is for upper 60's tomorrow, which is way warmer than usual. <br /><br />Thanks, everyone, for sharing your signs of Spring!<br />CarrieCarrie Turanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866179102754248664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-3365704335764150852012-03-05T20:22:33.184-08:002012-03-05T20:22:33.184-08:00Thanks for sharing the photo of the snowdrops.

In the winter I have petunias and sometimes pansies. This year my petunias were gorgeous, but when we were gone in the middle of February we had one cold night that zapped all the blooms. If I had been at home, I could have saved them by covering them up. But the plants survived, and they are starting to bloom again. My azaleas are starting to bloom all over the yard.Merrilleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617320163408645299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-23040368087912254412012-03-05T18:56:47.739-08:002012-03-05T18:56:47.739-08:00I'm in SE Wisconsin and our yards are under 4&...I'm in SE Wisconsin and our yards are under 4" of snow right now.

I agree with Tammy and Missy, it's so nice to hear the birds sing again!<br /><br />Julie, thanks for letting me know you're reading A Man To Trust. It was fun to write a story set in a Christian bookstore. A lot of special ministry goes on in those stores. Hope you enjoy the story!<br />Blessings,<br />CarrieCarrie Turanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866179102754248664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-84394948937483695802012-03-05T11:17:11.189-08:002012-03-05T11:17:11.189-08:00Tulips are coming up here.But the trout lilies, wi...Tulips are coming up here.But the trout lilies, wild flowers that look like a yellow bells, are a little early. <br /><br />Reading your book right now, Carrie!

The daffodils are up about 3", but they've been peeking out since January. Even some of the daylilies are showing green shoots. We're in the biz of growing & selling perennials, so my sure sign of spring is when the ground phlox bareroots come in from our supplier & hubby spends a couple days potting them up. That was last week. It'll be a roller coaster ride from now till about October! <br /><br />I also had the joyous pleasure of listening to a Phoebe sing this morning. The Audubon says it's one of the first songbirds to return in the spring, but I'm taking that song as a sure sign of the new season!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />TammyTammy Dohertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091474712383840821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-32393662688331311732012-03-05T08:56:26.636-08:002012-03-05T08:56:26.636-08:00I live in N Central MS.

We are also enjoying Japanese magnolias and forsythis.<br />The hawthorn, wild plums and bradford pears are also in full bloom. (Well at least the blooms that weren't blown off in the storms over the weekend.)<br />One of my favorite bouquets thins time of year is daffodils and hawthorn.<br />Soon we will be seeing dogwood and wisteria blooms.

The tomatoes didn't really produce much fruit. Alot of the floweres didn't do that well cos of the lack of water. The roses out the front are looking good. Oh and cos of the lack of rain the trees are losing leaves without turning. the past few days have been cooler around 70ish. Summer seems to have been around 70ish or high 90's without much in between.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.com
