[QUOTE=Phlosphr] Oh I’d call up the town council right away - the clerk, and have a petition drawn up. 😃 Little effort and you’ll be hanging your clothes outside by Independence Day. [/QUOTE] I know most of them personally. I used to work in Public Works (that’s where I got the nickname ‘Ditch Witch’) - Hubby still does. I seriously am thinking about starting a movement! **twicks** : Thanks! I’ve never been too successful with those but I love how they look. ---

My two are from 8th April, because we actually had REAL SNOW for the first time in years…we hardly ever get it to settle here, so a spring to remember. It was all gone by afternoon.

Daffodils and tulips are done here, but I spent last Saturday working in my [garden](http://s72.photobucket.com/albums/i178/fairychatmom/Spring%20garden%202008/). I think it was worth the sweat. ---

Spring! Springspringspring spriiiing!!! [Spring!](http://www.sunspace.org/ed1.jpg) This pic is me and my friend Mike trudging the labyrinth at [Loretto Maryholme](http://www.lorettomaryholme.ca/) last Sunday. WWe went there for a hundred-mile Earth Day dinner. It was hot and sunny and summery, but it’s so early that very few leaves are out, which gives the forest an odd feel. It’s only been a couple of weeks since the last ice melt in the city, after all. And when we drove north from Roches Point through the old beach towns along the south shore of Lake Simcoe, we even saw a fast-melting remnant of the lake ice close to the shore. Lake Simcoe freezes every winter and is famous for its ice fishery. Now everything is budding and leafing out and greening frantically. ---

I got a new camera for my birthday, and I’ve been practicing with the black and white photo setting. [Here’s](http://www.geocities.com/mulderscreek/photos/spring.html) early spring in NH. The ugliest time of year. FTR, black and white makes it easier to look at than the shades of brown… ---

The iris bulbs we planted a month or two ago just started blooming. [Here’s a quick photo of them](http://picasaweb.google.com/adamjprawlocki/Gardening/photo#5192496776050324258). ---

[QUOTE=NinetyWt] Yes, except I’m jealous of SOME people’s progress in their gardens ! And I have no excuse, it’s not like it’s snowed here or anything. _sigh_. [/QUOTE] I’m jealous that so many of them have _grass_. We won’t for weeks yet, and the only flowers we’ve got are the just bloomed crocuses. I don’t think they’re expected to come up in late April in other places… ---

[QUOTE=elfkin477] I’m jealous that so many of them have _grass_. [/QUOTE] We should trade places. Our grass grows practically year 'round! At least we know a good way to get [rid](http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/NinetyWt/Pic20002.jpg)of it. 😉 ---

I’ve posted [this](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/varishna/P4100038.jpg) elsewhere a few weeks ago, and I’ll add [this](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/varishna/P3300068.jpg) one (my husband gets credit for catching the bee). We’re having a record season for poppies this year. It’s solid orange all the way to the horizon…I’m hoping to get out there again this weekend, they’re peaking right now. I’m still waiting on my black locust trees to bloom. I think they’ll be a few weeks yet. ---

[QUOTE=Phlosphr] You’ve at least got leaves…all the trees in this area are ready to burst but haven’t yet. [/QUOTE] Here we’re out of the rainy season and back into dry - but last month I took [these pictures of desert wildflowers](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellbeecee/tags/tohohochulpark/) . ---

[QUOTE=NinetyWt] Spring has almost turned into summer, here. It’s supposed to be in the 80’s today. Anyway, I’ve got spring pics: [Iris](http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/NinetyWt/FlowerSmall2.jpg). [This](http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/NinetyWt/Picture020.jpg) cherry tree bloomed a few weeks ago, but it’s [all over](http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/NinetyWt/SmallFlower.jpg) now. Same is true for this [dogwood](http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/NinetyWt/Picture029.jpg), which bloomed last month.

Did I miss it? I have not seen any flowers yet, it is still snowing. But how I look forward to summer. Your post just gave me a boost, that summer will be here soon. ---

First veggies eaten today! Hooray for florida! You see me [Havesting a Japanese Eggplant](http://picasaweb.google.com/adamjprawlocki/Gardening/photo#5192833218018489154) here, The [Eggplant itself](http://picasaweb.google.com/adamjprawlocki/Gardening/photo#5192833213723521842) and the [Whole garden](http://picasaweb.google.com/adamjprawlocki/Gardening/photo#5192833222313456466) along the back wall of the house.
