Someone else wrote and mentioned the snow, I guess most others don't have any now.

High thirties overnight the last two nights and high forties in the daytime, yet the ground is still under a thick blanket of snow. Heavy rain today into tomorrow is supposed to take care of that!

I really like the light blue one.

We had a lot of snow but it is disappearing fast. I hear on the news Dorchester which is a town just north of us is flooding already.

Hi Viktoria,

Love that corydalis cava, does it grow from bulbs? Do you offer it for sale? Also, is that Anemone nemorosa "Robinsoniana?"

The anemone is 'Ginny' but it may not differ from 'Robinsoniana' by much. Corydalis is a tricky genus. I do not sell any of them. I think I got it from Seneca Hill Perennials (Oswego, NY); you can check their web site.

Despite promises of much rain, we got just 1/3" yesterday and everything is still covered with snow. I only have to drive a couple of miles, though, to see bare ground! It is too wet to ski. So, I just dream on...

We had a wonderful day today, the weather was about perfect for this time of year. We went for walks with the dog, cleaned the yard some, and swept the garage. I was looking and tomorrow is supposed to be about as nice. I am going to have my daughter come over soon and help set up the hoop thing. Probably shouldn't do too much myself yet, just the little I did today got my back very angry.

It is going to get cooler soon but still a little warmer than normal.

Wanted to mention we have daffodils and crocus poking through. I am sure the crocus will be blooming in 10 days, the daffodils could be many weeks yet.
