Trees are Budding

The trees are really budding now. We took the wire protection off our lilac bush. We had to put it around it to keep the rabbits from chewing off the bark. It almost killed it the first year we moved in but little shoots grew out of the main stalk and now we have quite a big bush again. Every year for the last couple of years, the buds have gotten frozen off and we didn't get any flowers. I hope that doesn't happen again this year as they smell so very good when they are in bloom.
