March Photos in Sutton Massachusetts
March in Sutton can sometimes be snowy, but you also can feel spring coming. The days are getting warmer, the buds are starting to form on trees, the crocusses flowers and daffodil greens start poking up through the layer of leaves left from last year. The birds start chirping a little more happily, as they prepare for mating season.
These photos were taken on March 28th, 2011. There is still snow on the ground (of course) but the crocus flowers have come up anyway, valiantly poking up through the frosty leaves!
Usually the crocus show up during this last week of March. They are our first blooms of the spring.
In comparison, the daffodils are barely green stalks in March. It'll be another month before we see blooms on those.
This next bush is the only other thing that begins to bloom in my lawn in March. It is a pieris japonica bush which clearly is not native to the region, but it seems to do all right with the cold.
The bushes start to bud

In March 2010 we had first a torrential hurricane, then only a week or so later we had a series of torrential rainstorms. It caused flooding all across New England, and Sutton was not immune.
I've got a bunch of photos plus a video!

March is Red Cross month, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome month, kidney month, MS awareness month, women's history month, deep vein thrombosis month, and deaf history month.
