My visit to my tree was pretty similar to every other visit I’ve had. This time, there was no snow on the ground and it was 60 degrees and sunny which was a nice change. There is still no budding on my tree however I noticed some buds on neighboring trees which was exciting for me. Now that I am getting more familiar with the area, it’s nice to look around and notice slight changes in the landscape. I could hear more birds today and I saw some green grass and small flowers growing, which I loved. Other than that, like I said above my tree hasn’t changed. There are still some brown leaves hanging on to most branches and the buds are closed. I’m hoping by my next visit there are buds on my tree too.
