Hunting for Buds (#1)

Today was spent on pruning the four Linden trees in front of the house. (tomorrow I'll do the 4 linden trees in the back, I might blip it)

But

As I promised yesterday I went out hunting for buds. There are signs of returning life everywhere! The first and furthest are the Hydrangea on the northwest end. facing southeast and sheltered by a fence they are as early as can be.
