Welcome

I hope to share my little ups and downs though life in a small town with hopes and dreams of the country life. With that I have learned to bloom where you are planted.

More Signs of Spring

I'm starting to get excited!!! Since daylight savings time started,  I've been able to work out in the yard two nights this week. There sure are a lot of weeds to pull already but it is way and I mean way to muddy for that. I did get all my roses trimmed and I dug up some horrible blackberry vines.  I love blackberries to eat but just not in my yard! It was in the high sixties today as I sat inside at my desk, ugh!  Oh, retirement you can't come soon enough.

Tulips and peonies are starting to sprout out of the ground.  I'm worried about my peonies and frost.  I keep a close watch on the temps to know if they need covered or not. 

I can't wait for the tulips to start blooming.  Looks like I need to get on moss patrol!

The daffodils are blooming all though my yard. In our valley they seem to grow wild.  They always have a happy face.  I had to pick a bouquet for my table.

Oops! Looks like I should have trimmed up the dead narcissus leaves before the picture. Oh well I'm still using my phone for all my pics!  Yes, it is called procrastination camera shopping.

I almost forgot to tell you what I "almost" stepped on going out the patio door. 

Mr. Toad!!!  He didn't make a move.  We have frogs and toads but usually not quite this big.  I put a quarter down by him so you can see his size.  I know some of you are laughing and thinking, tiny! But for me to almost squash a toad he was big.  I told him he was lucky and he can stay in my yard and eat all the bugs.

I hope everyone is seeing signs of Spring and getting excited!

Enjoy June
