People throughout the mid-Atlantic enjoyed some surprises this weekend. Our bees were busy and visited me throughout the day Sunday as I planted trees wearing a yellow shirt. While driving in the early evening, we saw more than a dozen bats (not a good thing, if they're not capturing any food). Geraniums and Delphinium were blooming in flower pots, and the leaf buds on the Hawthorns we were planting were opening. The moist soil was easy to work and it was a great day to plant trees.
