Trees are budding

[Kdog]

Trees are budding, Forsythia is starting to bloom and crocus's are heading up and ready to bloom and now its snowing again. Am thinking summer is gonna be hot!

Don't remind me about the trees. My allergies have been running like crazy for 6 weeks. Almost all tree pollen here in Okieland. Pear trees, Dogwoods, and Redbuds are all going. White Bass and Crappie are starting to do their thing.

Only tiny buds on the trees up here. Walked around my property earlier in the week and saw my raspberries had nice bud on them...... or at least what was left of the ones the deer hadn't destroyed. This weather is pretty much a repeat of last year. My forsythias and dogwood only ever got a few flowers last year. I use the forsythias as a fishing timeline guide..... when those yellow flowers open that means the crappie will be just out past their spawning grounds and will be making beds soon. It is usually pretty accurate for my local lakes. I believe the buds flowers actually opening and the fish spawning has more to do with hours of sunlight than temps. When it is the right time of year, they do their thing no matter what the temp.

Oh...... i took a picture from my back stairs last night when i got home. Hard to tell, but there were waves on the pond.

Just got back from east Texas, "Navarro Mills" and the trees are doing it there. Here? Some of the fruit trees, but the mesquit, and pecan? Not yet, but it is gonna be 97* Thursday. With a full moon this weekend, its fixing to POP!

Oh yea fishing, Caught a few shallow but not many, and they haven't been there long. Males didn't color up till they were in the ice chest. Mostly minnows with a few on small dark jigs. Water still a little murky. But did have a big time with the family...

Up here (MN) the tree to watch is the lilac - when they bloom, go hit the shallows - the crappie are spawning. This is usually the 3rd or 4th week of May.
