As I exited my front door this a.m. the first thing to strike my senses was the pungent aroma of a skunk. How much I have missed it! How often has anyone ever made THAT kind of remark. So, the temperature is rising to 40 and above, and the hammerlock of winter appears to have been broken for a brief moment. To emphasize this, a hardy band of seven ROBINS was foraging around the base of an old and dying sugar maple in the side yard. Those are the only signs of Spring so far, but it is an auspicious start. Time to bring in some forsythia and pussy willow cuttings for forced blooming.
