Thanks for following...our summers are gorgeous (so are spring and fall), but it is almost a guarantee we will get snow before Easter every year. It is quite amazing that it was 76 degrees on Sunday afternoon (currently around 33).

I'll make it official and follow your blog ... I have been "stalking" for the last month ... but you must know that the weather in South Central Florida warms up so that by late May I have usually lost all interest in gardening! My plants dry up in the sandy soil and I dry up in the hot sun ... haha. I will read about your Blue Ridge garden and pretend! Because I would not trade my too hot summer for your snow!
