 NB>> At least we are also getting a few minutes of real sun just about
 NB>> every day to go along with the rain...  :)  I know we've got flood
 NB>> watches in place, but at least where I've been, things aren't too
 NB>> bad... and from what I hear, we actually do need this rain.  :)

 MR> This is our week, I can feel it. This is the week we turn the corner
 MR> into spring!! ;)
 
One can but hope... after all, we ARE halfway through April now... :)

 NB>> Yup, the forsythia next door is yellowing up nicely..  :)  And my
 NB>> bulbs have leaves well up and some buds showing for the daffodils..  :)
 MR> 
 MR> Yes, I have to do some homework too. There is a certain window to trim
 MR> back the lilacs, I think just after the blooms die off. I need to do
 MR> some trimming this year for sure.

That sounds about right... the buds are set now, so you don't want to
trim now, you'd lose all the blooms...  
 
 MR>> I am not sure of the exact date, but if I remember right, last
 MR>> year at this time. Lilacs were already blooming. A full month early. I
 MR>> had never seen them that early before here in NY. The magnolias were
 MR>> already gone.
 NB>> Last year was just an anomaly... and then we got our usual frosts
 NB>> back... this year is much more normal... for spring, anyway...  ;)
 
 MR> Definitely, Never saw a Winter/Spring like that one in my life....

It indeed was rather bizarre...  We'd had early warmth, but not that
stayed so long it totally confused the plant life... 

 MR> ... Stop tagline theft! Copyright your tagline (c)

Yeah, right....  like that would work...
