Spring Already?

Now the folks in Colorado would find this to be, well, just weird.  But Spring seems to have begun in Houston.  Red maples, redbuds, pears, and plums are starting to bloom. The ash trees have new leaves, and many flowers that survived the very warm winter are already blooming.  The photo above shows a few of the blooms on my Meyer Lemon tree--it is just covered with blooms.  If even a small percentage make fruit, it will be a really big year for lemons.  When spring starts this early, we all just hope that a late cold front doesn't appear on the scene and nip all the new growth.
