IT’S FINALLY SPRING IN DELAWARE!!!

This sure was a cold winter on Delmarva this year!

It’s Howdy Doody Time!

This sure was a cold winter on Delmarva this year! Now, it is time to get out and say “Howdy” to all your neighbors! Spring is here and I’m sure everyone is working in the yard. Just look at all the flowers in the neighborhood. The trees are full of blooms and the lilacs smell so good. If your yard is anything like mine, it could use more perennials. We went to Jeff’s Nursery in Laurel, DE this weekend, but Lowe’s in Seaford, DE or Lewes, DE will have an array of choices too. Jeff’s Nursery has been around for a long time and offers plants, shrubs and advice you may not find other places. It’s a friendly time of the year so put on your smile and wave to your neighbors with a friendly “Howdy”!
