Signs of Early Spring

Beautiful weather this past couple of weeks,

 the snow in town is almost gone.

 I took a walk around the yard 

and discovered theses pretty violas

 in the veggie gardens.

Spring Has Arrived!!

I spent a little time outside yesterday enjoying the gorgeous spring day!

Here's a sampling of what I saw in my backyard!

Forget Me Nots, Rhubarb and Garlic!

We actually are having a nice late afternoon. The fog finally rolled back out to the Lake where it is just hanging, may roll back in at a moments notice. I went out back to sit on the step, a friend stopped by on his way home from a bike ride. When he left I strolled about seeing what I could see, in my gardens. I was quite delighted to spy a couple of tiny forget me not blooms in my side flower bed, so pretty! The rhubarb is growing so well, we will be eating before long! Our garlic patch is quite amazing though, Mark planted one whole garden in a variety of different kinds of garlic last fall and it is all doing really well! We are big garlic lovers here in this house! What a wonderful afternoon! It is so nice to see the new life bursting forth, in the gardens!
