CHICKASAW PLUMS FLOWERING
Last Monday, on March 1st, the first blossoms of our Chickasaw Plums, PRUNUS ANGUSTIFOLIA, appeared. It was just two little, white blossoms inside an intricate tangle of spiny, dark stems, but what a pleasure it was to walk up to them, stick my nose next to them, and breathe in their perfume. What odor could be more pleasing than that of wild plum blossoms on a spring morning when the air was warm, moist, and also redolent of mud and crushed grass?

Although the arrival of spring still has a way to go further north, I'm glad that down south people are getting more than a taste of it. We had snow flurries for most of the day, but none of it stuck, even on the lawn. I found the "SLUG BLUES" section (along with its links, photos and drawings) to be the most interesting, and the "INFORMATION MANIPULATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT" to be the scariest and most worrisome environmental report I'd read in awhile.
