Good to see you, Shelly, @shellyrae37! Glad to hear that spring is making it's way to you. My forsythia bushes are now more green than yellow. Apparently my daffodil are coming out in stages -- the plain yellow and white ones are about over but there are fancy yellows and whites and one multi-colored flowering right now. May not see any daylily flowers this year -- the deer are eating the leaves on all of them.

They are making good progress on containing the forest fire in the Pine Barrens in southern NJ -- it's now 60% contained, most of the evacuations have been lifted and all of the main roads and highways have been reopened. I read somewhere that it is a case of arson -- someone set a pile of pallets on fire. It's been very dry for a number of months now so they weren't able to do the usual controlled burns that are done in the Pine Barrens in the spring which meant there was a lot of undergrowth, much of it dry. There has been rain off and on since last night, which I'm sure is helping them get control.
