One of the effects of our very mild winter is any early start to the many blooms in our yard.
Five of our Rhododendrons started blooming weeks ago, and unfortunately were hit by a few cold nights and have already lost their flowers.
Many other plants have now taken their place.
I love the color that is popping up around us, and am thankful that we have not had the snows and harsh weather that the eastern part of the country have suffered this winter.
