Wow! What a difference four days can make. On Wednesday I biked on the GAP from Garrett to Frostburg, a distance of about twenty miles, in below-freezing temperatures, passing by hills covered with half an inch of snow. Today it hit 70ยบ F. in Frostburg. March may be going out like a lamb. As usual at this time of the year a cornucopia of flora has suddenly appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Witches broom (mullein) was out before but it has really taken off in the last couple days. Saw for the first time greater celandine, purple deadnettle, Fuller's teasel, and common motherwort.
