Great day to chase a horse!

What a weird time of year!  "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb!" is the adage.  Truly, that is the weather here in beautiful Pike county.  March starts in a few days and the weather is so nice, interspersed with rainy cold.  The Daffodils are up and blooming already and the trees are fixing to burst with the Dogwood blooms.  BJ and I really had to restrain ourselves from buying a bunch of annuals and putting them in the ground. I think it's a plot, because usually there comes a killing frost in early March and it's back to the store for more flats of flowers. 

As I show property around the county, I notice the flowers, shrubs and trees.  I can spot a "green thumb" a mile away by looking at  the landscaping- and there are quite a few gardeners here! If you are even considering selling your home in the next few months, be sure to add a few annuals (when the weather stays warm), clean up the beds and trim the shrubs.  It will really make your home more appealing.  They say most buyers make up their minds about a house in 5 minutes- and 4 of those 5 minutes are spent walking to the front door! Don't forget that the last "frost free" day in our area is April 15th- that should be easy to remember.  Add color with plants and flowering shrubs.
