Spring Has Arrived!


Well, here we are on April 3rd! A wet, heavy snow pushing our branches down, similar to the November, 2010 pics in an earlier blog.
Luckily, I got 2 yds of the forest bark spread Saturday before the snow came. The tulip foliage is about 6" but you can't see due to snow. With the moisture and fertilizer, once we get some warm weather, this yard and garden will take off. However, once again we're going to miss the high point of the tulips - France calls! Tough duty, but someone  --
With 130% of normal year snowpack, there's some concerns we're going to have a runoff year similar to the floods of '83. That year, we had a river running thru downtown SLC (water had to go somewhere and State Street is close to the old riverbeds from the 1800s).
