Dear WeatherCat users who cannot wait for Spring to come,
Today is groundhog day and you might have heard the bad news that
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow - meaning another 6 weeks of winter.
Nonetheless, obviously these 3 plum trees didn't get that memo:
The two pink trees are the same ones I posted earlier. As you can see the white tree is also blooming enthusiastically, so like it or not - as far as these trees are concerned - Spring is here!
As before, the line of plum trees across the street from these blooming trees still don't have any signs of life. So the whole situation is rather puzzling. Still,we can enjoy it as a preview of the return of Spring we all look forward to!
Cheers, Edouard
P.S. If you look just a bit to the right of the white plum tree, you'll see the trunk of a birch tree that has snapped off after about 4 feet. So the storm damage is almost everywhere you look.
