Monthly Garden Photos - April 2013

I began this project last month, as part of an online group. On the 5th day of the month I will post a photo of the same four locations to document the seasonal changes.

Seeing Some Early Spring Green

On February 8 and 9th, my area of the country experienced a blizzard that left snow in amounts that broke records. We received over 30" of snow! Since that blizzard, daytime temperatures have remained above freezing. Little by little the huge piles of snow began to melt. It isn't totally gone yet, but enough of it is that I can see some perennials showing signs of life. How delightful!
