This winter was not very harsh. Even all that snow we had last week melted quickly because of the mild temperatures. But, being the cynic I am when it comes to Canadian weather, I'm also concerned that we'll pay a price for this 'easy winter'. Still. I'll try to remain optimistic. This is my first full season of outdoor gardening (after over 10 years) and I'm going to enjoy it, damn it! :) Oh, I couldn’t agree more! This winter was not very harsh.

I love it while it's here, but a) I know it's a false spring and b)I'm scared of the eventual price we'll pay - I hope it's not in June.

I can't tell totally from the snow cover leaves, but it appears as if that is the case. A live oak will keep it's leaves (though brown) through the winter and then the newly emerging leaves push the old ones off in the spring. So you get to rake leaves twice a year. It's the tree that keeps on giving. The tree is likely a live oak. I can’t tell totally from the snow cover leaves, but it appears as if that is the case.
