While it is somewhat troubling to go from bathing suits to babushkas in the same week, I can’t really hate on the weather for being temperamental. I’ve got mood swings of my own.
My rhododendrum, rhododendren, big ass flowering shrub, is doing some serious budding in the face of the warmer temps. I hope it doesn’t get whollaped by snow and ice.
I’ve sometimes thought about planting witch hazel for the earliest late winter color. But have a relatively bad track record with planted trees and shrubs, so it’s probably just as well that I haven’t murdered a witch hazel along with the rest.
Am craving spring. C’mon little springtime, you can get here!
Actually, it looks like it’s a Chinese witch hazel, which would flower about now.
We’re starting to go green around here too.
How do I get budding trees?!?!?

The Ice Storm cometh….
Yeah, what Mel said — witch hazel.
My witch hazel shrub smells like cat pee, but it is so nice to see some color in February. Keeps me goin’, I tell ya.

I do NOT see that blooming. NO NO NO!!! Not with snow on the way I don’t.
