So, what ever happened to March's modus operandi, "In like a lion and out like a lamb..."? Lamb-ish behavior was clearly personified by last month's weather. As for today? A roaring lion has taken over the ruling reins, forcing Mother Nature to enact her boldest of behaviors.
Last week, buds were prematurely bursting, thanks to seventy-degree temps. When frosty evenings recurred, they sheltered themselves by remaining partially closed. Amazing! Now, they await a new wave of warmth.
