The wild swings in temperature have made Bossy’s neighborhood a very conflicted one. Here Christmas lights hang on a budding bush.
Turn back, Forsythia, turn back!

February 17, 2009 at 9:43 amWhile 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.

February 17, 2009 at 11:37 amYeah, 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.

February 17, 2009 at 11:56 amMy 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.

February 17, 2009 at 12:53 pmI’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!

February 18, 2009 at 2:52 amI do NOT see that blooming. NO NO NO!!! Not with snow on the way I don’t.
