VV- We feel your pain- in the rump and in the ego.
Today I WILL get my hands in the dirt, I have some ferns and Hellebores to plant, maybe that Vitex agnus-castus I neglected to plant in the fall. Yesterday I had great plans of getting dirty (sunny and 60 degrees!) but derailed due to car trouble. If VV can confess slipping on the ice, I can confess I put a tankful of gas in my diesel car. I can't believe VW picked up the tab (that's VW not VV).

Signs of scarily early spring here:
#1 usually this mountain has snow on it until August
#2 Oh foolish Wooly Bear
#3 Unretouched Greeeeeen.
#4 yep, really. The flowering trees are in bloom already.
