Spring

It is official; spring is here. This morning, I finally managed to get into my backyard which had been blocked by a mound of snow up to my waist until today. I still had to walk over some snow but persevered and to my amazement found crocuses blooming. Where are they, you might ask? Well, that is my next project taking digital pictures of these wonders so that we can all share in the blooms. I am so pleased. I will get out into the garden and prune some of last year's growth from a few plants that I could not get too last fall when the snows came early.

Hope that everyone is having the same wonderful weather that we are enjoying here. I am going to walk to the store later just to enjoy the weather. It is a perfect day.

Going to buy some begonias to add to my collection and get them started. Apparently, it is only 6 weeks until the danger of frost passes and I want to be ready. Most of my garden is filled with perennials but I am sure that some of them succumbed to the cold and others are victims of the resident squirrels. I found some suspicious holes in the garden. Time to plan.

Enjoy the arrival of spring!
