Anti-Winter Blues

Winter in southwest Ohio this time around has so far been very un-winterlike! Freezing overnight, but with springlike afternoon temperatures, everything is a little off-kilter. I hope the shrubs that are currently budding survive the confusing weather. (Not to mention my allergy-ridden co-workers!) As someone who likes to see more than occasional snow, I am a bit frustrated with the frequent chilly rain, but when I see the places where people can't open their front doors for all the snow, I stop complaining.

Meanwhile, the garden is just squishy. I've really got to get some drainage improvements made in the spring (or is it spring now?). I'm lining up the estimates...
