PETAL PUSHER

Over 200 years ago Robert Burns wrote: "O, my luv's like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June."

But since this Knockout rosebud from our garden is newly sprung in April, I'd say this is just one more example of global warming, and that's just fine with me. I like having all the early flowers. The peonies are fat with buds and should be arriving soon, as well.

If Mother Nature plays a blasted trick on us and we get a freeze in the next few weeks, I'm going to be changing my tune to a dirge.
