Finally replaced it this past fall with a different type of tree. If it snows tonight it would be better than the cold without the snow. In 1987 April 3 we had a foot of snow, on top of the tulips. I took photos that looked like a blanket on top of the tulips. After the snow was gone the tulips were just fine.<BR/><BR/>I hope we survive this one ok.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://leedrasphotosforfun.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Leedra’s Photos For Fun</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://leedrasgreetingcards.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Leedra’s Greeting Cards</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://photographybyleedra.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Photography By Leedra</A>Leedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914177127665868671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-54799604946801409892009-04-06T11:30:00.000-05:002009-04-06T11:30:00.000-05:00I know it was 75 or so here yesterday and we were ...I know it was 75 or so here yesterday and we were outside allllll day long.

Our Dogwood trees are in bloom now. Hope it doesn't get as cold as they say. I wanted snow a couple of months ago but I'm over it now. I just want my trees and flowers to make it through this cold weather. I'll cover what I can but some are too big.
