More Buds Bursting


We're starting in Belchertown.Aspen has already burst.  Red Maple is close on its heels, birch is promising, even the oaks are puffy.Crazy week ... 165 2nd graders, 40 high-schoolers and a whole mess of chaperones = one successful field trip across the street and a whole lot of happy people (except for that one case of poison ivy!)

Yes spring is coming to Drumlin Farm and Lowell slowly. At Drumlin Farm the Black birch has just burst and the sugar maple is very puffy in some buds and not as much in others. I have noticed at great difference among sugar maples, even those side by side!  Our box alder leafed out last week as did the silver maples in Boyce Field. In Lowell, the sugar maple at the Robinson School all buds puffy and at Freshman Academy in Down town Lowell the red maple is puffy too.
