I appreciate your comments... (click on the "comments" bar to see them.)

My father started walking 5 miles a day when he turned 50. Now that he is approaching 80 he cut all the way back to 3 miles.... every day, rain or shine. (View his comment attached to February 28)

So, in our area March is, indeed,coming in like a lion. The dusting of snow may have been a surprise for some of the early blooming daffodils, (and their owners!) One friend spent the morning shaking snow off the boughs of the rhodies, so they wouldn't freeze, and the afternoon wondering whether the snow was actually a form of insulation, and she'd made the freeze more likely!

If you have special tricks for getting your plants safely through a late snow, please share them with us.
