By Robert Browning,? 00The Year’s at the Spring"The year's at the spring,And day's at the morn;Morning's at seven;The hill-side's dew-pearled;The lark's on the wing;The snail's on the thorn;God's in his Heaven—?All's right with the world!"-? By Robert Browning,? ________________________________________________________________________________________OVER THE GARDEN FENCE... 44119804724400045283191333500Letter from the VP:Spring has arrived!Temperatures are increasing and forecasts are for rain rather that snow. Spring is a new beginning. Bulbs are blooming, birds are singing, bees are buzzing and the trees are sprouting new leaves. Everything is emerging from the winter hibernation.As spring starts, look at the world around you. Notice the changes in your yard and your neighborhood. This is a time to try something new. Add a new plant to your garden. Dig an entirely new flower garden. Take a hike and explore an area you’ve never seen. Take a picture as you watch a bee pollinate a flower. Enjoy the sunrise and the dew on the grass on a warm morning. One of the pleasures of spring is planting seeds that will wind up, eventually, on the table. Countless nights we look at the dinner table and talk about what we grew in the vegetable garden. Tonight, the surprise spinach from last year looked too good to leave in the ground. It was part of a quiche.Spring is nature’s regeneration and “wake up call.” Wake up yourself—early. You will need those extra hours for all of your new activities.Jeff Drapalik, CCMG Vice President Minutes: Clinton County Master Gardener Association. Mar. 24, 2017In attendance: Jeff Drapalik-V.
