The weather has been fabulous the last couple of days.
The ground is drying out much earlier than last year, and it is really difficult waiting.
I feel like plunging into the spring garden work, but I know there will be a change in weather sooner or later. Starting too early never seems to be any good in the end. I must stick to my ingrained schedule.
Besides there’s no sense in starting anything big now when we are going to be away in Japan for a few weeks. We’ll have plenty of time to do the spring work when we get back.

wow! your mild winter is over! does it seem wierd?
Wow! You read my post while I was still working on it – correcting spelling, grammer and composition. Done now, I think. Yes it’s weird. It will be even weirder in Japan at cherry blossom time.
LOL the post was at the top of my reader when I signed in!
Japan, eh? you’ve been there before?
I always publish too early, check in the browser and find a bunch of mistakes and things to improve, so it’s bound to happen. Yes I’ve been to Japan 3 times and lived there more than a year, but it’s been along time since last.
