I was able to get out before the rain yesterday; today I am waiting for it to end before I ramble. I guess spring weather is fickle. At least it appears that we may escape another freeze, but we had thunder at the end of February, and my neighbors in Tuscaloosa swore that meant frost in April.
More and more of the trees and flowers are waking from their winter dormancy, and it seems there are blossoms and emerging leaves all over the Hollow.
Not everywhere is green, as work continues clearing for the new house.
and other work goes on across the ridge. (Remember this tree?)
The sun is out, and I just walked up into my “orchard”, where all three apple trees have blossoms, and the blueberries are beginning to bloom. Songbirds were singing, and turkeys were gobbling. I walked back in to hear Finlandia playing on the radio. (Listen here.) Spring in this little hollow in the mountains is full of wonderful sights and sounds!
