May 2015

It's been in the 60s for about a week, 50s overnight.

Spring was quite early this year. We had a long period of no snow at the end of winter. Once the birch leaves started popping, it was just a matter of three or four days until everything was fully leafed out. We are told here that when the birch leaves are as big as squirrel's ears, it's okay to plant. That came maybe 10 days earlier in May than usual.
