Bright colors of spring are starting to arrive

I bought a shovel last night, a spade really, and a branch lopper because I broke the one my mom loaned to me. I was hoping to get those plants into the ground, but my schedule prevented me from getting my hands dirty. Unfortunately, tonight’s schedule is just as crazy. Besides, the news has predicted more rain this afternoon and evening. Oh, the rain is so needed, to drench the ground is helpful. Now, figuring out when to fertilize (soon) and do some weed-killing.

Did I mention that the tulips on the side of the house have sprung open in a glorious red? Yellow daffodils are scattered throughout the front corner garden, in front of the silver feather grasses I just cut down last week. They are popping up under the rose bushes, and seem to be sprinkled around the whole area. How exciting to see these glimpses of color as spring arrives. I’ve been rushing out of the house in the mornings and barely able to feed the kids in the evening before the sun goes down…so unfortunately I don’t have photos yet. Perhaps tomorrow.
