The week started off very warm before cooling as the week progressed. The week started with a high of 72° last Sunday before dropping into the 60's and then into the 50's. Lows were mostly in the 20's and 30's though one morning had a low of 43° due to wind. The low of the week was 25° on Friday. Speaking of the wind, it was windy on a few days last week but nothing extreme. It was a very dry week with no precipitation falling. More plants continue to come out of dormancy with a maple tree budding out and the peach tree has buds swelling. Also, saw the first forsythia bloom and harvested the first asparagus. Saw some robins drinking water out of the pond and a few other birds in the garden. Also, smelled a skunk on my morning walk.
