There&#8217;s still a little bit of snow out there &#8211; or at least there was some in the shady areas in the afternoon &#8230; it&#8217;s possible that it melted away by now. <\/p>\n<p>So I was looking out at my garden from the kitchen window .. the leaves on the ground and in the garden beds, the roses that I didn&#8217;t prune in the fall, plants that needed to be pulled out after they died down last fall &#8230; and that&#8217;s when the urge to get out there and tidy up the garden hit me. <\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>Of course it&#8217;s the beginning of March.  I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll have one or two snow storms and some desperately cold weather before Spring really arrives &#8230; so no, I didn&#8217;t go out into the garden no matter how much I wanted to.  It would have been a wasted effort and if I&#8217;d started pruning it might even have hurt the plants one the cold weather returns. <\/p>\n<p>Instead my dog got an extra long walk in the afternoon and a long walk in the evening. She also was given a walk, as usual, in the morning by my husband. So we all got some good exercise and we&#8217;re able to enjoy the amazingly warm March weather.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>Did it warm up in your area too?
