As I look out the window here at the Peak at 11 A.M., I see very little of the snow remaining! Good riddance. I'm ready to hit the garden. By the way, I hope to see all you green thumbers this weekend at the Creemore Home and Garden Show. I'm there Saturday and Sunday, so come on down. It's well worth the drive!
