The snow is gone
I have mixed emotions about all the snow having melted. The warm weather does give me spring fever, but the backyard bird visitors have dropped off substantially. One good thing about this weather is I can plant seeds in my garden now. You're probably thinking I'm crazy, but most of our kansas wildflowers need to be planted in winter to get the seeds to break their dormancy. The freezing and thawing and cooler temps will do that to the seeds so that they germinate in the spring. I plan to plant some things today.
