Spring yet?

Spring is here - at least by the calendar.
On the farm the fruit trees are slowly coming to life. For those of us that feel things are happening way to slowly, I took some pictures today April 19 and compared them to the same shots taken 1 year ago - April 18, 2010.
See for yourselves if spring is slow or not.

Last year the bee hives were already in place for pollination.
I think the bees would be freezing this year!

Of course 2010 was a very early spring - things were almost 3 weeks ahead of average.
This spring is more normal or slightly behind the average.
