On this day in 1858 Thoreau comments in his journal:
"How fitly and exactly any season of the year my be described by indicating the condition of some flower!"
That is one of my goals for Lochwood Park, to know what flowers are blooming, or putting out leaves, or berries, or changing at what time of year.

Rain alomst all day, preceeded by several days of weather in the 40's and 50's. Quite cold for this time of year.
Even the slowest Chinese elm to leaf by the end of the driveway has put forth some evidence of spring, but the Chinese tallow by the front door seems dead-again.
Perhaps because of the colder weather, there have been few flying insects as yet.

Sleet all Friday night built up to 1-2 inches in our yard by Saturday morning. Tempreatures stayed in the 20's all day. Saturday afternoon the snow started and continued through much of Sunday, mostly flurries. On Monday the roads were terrible. |
