A Taste of Winter

Here I am again writing as the weather changes from a taste of winter back to fall after we enjoyed a couple almost 70 degree days. If you think you are whirling on a rubber band imagine what the trees are thinking. Well, maybe not “thinking”, but you know what I mean. After the heavy, wet snow many trees lost leaves similar to our two summer hail storms, but other trees are still green and holding their leaves. Deciduous trees lose their leaves because they need to save energy for the winter.

Just When We Thought It Could Be Spring

In an effort to avoid my usual last minute style I have been jotting notes of things to start off with this year. As I look over the list I can already tell I have too much for this first effort. That said, without repeating last year word for word I am going to ask you to refer to the Canyon Creek Nursery website under the Pat’s Corner tab to re-read “Will It Ever Be Spring?” to review spring clean-up chores.
