Everyone seems to be complaining about spring’s delayed arrival. Maybe it’s because we’ve had so many rainy, gray days. This weekend, though, Miss Spring arrived in all her glory sending every plant in my garden into a panicked growth spurt. Brian and I took the time to clean all of the flower beds of last year’s detritus and lay a beautiful layer of cypress mulch. It all looks clean and fresh. We still have much work to do in the yard (replanting grass from grub damage, staking a peach tree, planting the vegie garden and so on), but we got a large chunk of work done this weekend and it feels so good.
Now, if I only had time to tackle the spring cleaning of the inside of my house. At least it’s getting a good airing.
These are my tiny irises that bloom around the same time as crocuses. They are one of my favorite flowers.
