The crocuses are
blooming!
The daffodils
are poking out little green leaves.
So today I put
on some shoes I haven’t worn since last fall
and went forth to dig in the
garden. I savored this chore
even more after remembering how a year ago at this time
I was recovering from surgery and spending my time watching
airplanes fly by my bedroom window.

It took most of
the afternoon to clear the dead leaves and debris
so the baby tulips and other
perennials could feel the sun.
My favorite
gloves aren’t going to make it through another season. This means another trip to the farm and ranch
store. Darn. (heh heh). Maybe while I’m shopping I’ll check to see if
there are bunnies and baby turkeys added to the cages full of baby chicks and
ducks.
After hauling
four or five wheelbarrow loads of stuff to the compost heap I went in the
house, took off my garden shoes and, for the first time since last fall, I put
on sandals. I also discovered I had sticks in my hair and a ladybug down my
neck.
I took the
ladybug back outside and then returned to the house
to make pies for Sunday
dinner.
Oh..Such pretty crocus..spring is sprung in your gardens:)
ReplyDeleteYou covered a lot of ground today! :)
ReplyDeletei like your garden 'shrek hands'
ReplyDeleteYeah what a difference a year makes. Good fun. Glad you let the pretty little lady bug fly away home.I love boot and glove pics they show the real part of hard working people. Cool eh! B
ReplyDeleteNow spring has come in both your garden and my garden. I love cute crocus. It's blooming in my garden too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms, Leenie! And that ladybug photo is great! I think your poor gloves have served you well.
ReplyDeleteLovely way to spend a day! And I love that the ladybug hitched a ride to see what was inside too. Perhaps she heard pie would be on the menu later...
ReplyDeleteI noticed that the local ads have Ladybug for the name of the company for pest control. That just seems [wrong].
ReplyDeleteI get the same way when I "need" to go to the IFA. Yeah for chicks!
ReplyDeleteWhat, no ladybug pie? You have some strange things growing in your garden.
ReplyDeleteOur spring is further advanced, with the daffodils in bloom. Malcolm has done a lot of the spring work, including painting the deck and the furniture .... but now the warm weather has gone, and snow is forecast!
ReplyDeleteI can't count how many gloves I go through during "Gardening Season" no matter what kind I buy. LOL
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed your wonderful pictures!
Have a good week.
Lookout Leenie! That Ladybug has a knife!
ReplyDeletelol - sounds like the ladybug had a little adventure. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see the sprouts, isn't it? Our daffies are out and our tulips are on their way, undeterred by the snow we had this past weekend and somehow dodging the hail.
