The choke cherries are waiting for the bear to come.

Not all of them, though. The tent caterpillars had their way with many of them in July. Ate all the leaves away, they did. Here’s a photo from back then.

Now, roses (and cherries are roses) like a nice winter before they start growing again, but when you’ve lost all your leaves for months, it’s kind of like sort of the same thing. You sprout, you bloom, when you should not be doing any such thing at all.

I tell you, no good can come of this.

Spring is going to be rough, I think. Oh wait, it’s spring now…or is it?
