Spicebush and Paw-Paw blooming, trees starting to push leaves, frogs coming out of the pond. These are things that typically happen in mid April. Our La Nina winter has translated into an unusually mild and early spring. The foliage is about three weeks ahead of schedule. The Redbuds and Dogwoods on our website background are just getting ready to bloom. The web photos were taken April 28 last year; we are expecting them to look like that in the next week or so. It will be interesting to see what happens if we get another cold spell. For now the flora and fauna in the woods are looking and acting more like mid-April than mid-March.
