For the past week and a half we have all been sick and not doing much. Today was dreary and raining, but Courtney and I had enough energy to put on our rain boots and check out to mud. We now have three blooming tulips, to Courtney's delight they are all pink. And the hyacinths are blooming too(the pink ones already faded). So the color in our yard is starting to wake up. Courtney was excited to see all the dandelions and I already transplanted some violets from the lawn to a place where they can expand and be seen, don't you tell us any flower is a weed!
It was good to see that the sweetwilliams are starting their upward stretch to bloom just after the tulips. And that the purple cone flower(echinacea) self seeded(after I grabbed the seed head and ripped some out letting them fall half hazardly, last fall) so we will had at least three more of those plants. I thought we only had one pea plant seedling that surved what ever was getting them, but I found one to day that some how was saved because it was hiding under an iris rhizome( An Iris for a body gaurd , who would have thought?). The only upsetting thing today is that the recent rains were not very kind to our carrot seedlings and there doesn't seem to be as many. I must be feeling better because I wish it wasn't raining.
