Just for you, Nick

There it is. I thought maybe I had taken a picture of it already. This is from March 10th. It is right below the kitchen window right by the concrete. The garlic in the front yard is over towards Mrs. Scotto's driveway.

And.........I knew you would love this picture......

Spring!

March 15, 2009

Spring is ready to burst open! The left is the hydrangea bush and the right is the lilac tree. I am on my way to Michigan for two weeks and when I get back these will all be green leaves. I hate to miss it but I will get to see buds coming out in Michigan, hopefully, as I think they are a little behind.

At last

March 10, 2009

I don't hate winter. Arguably, I don't live in a place where we have terrible winters. I am retired so the pressure of getting to work, mandating nurses to stay at work for 24 hours, trying to figure out what to do after that, is all gone. I have found Vinnie, the snow man, who will shovel all that I need shoveled for a reasonable cost. And I really don't have to go anywhere that I can't change to another time. So what is to hate about winter? Sometimes the brown, gray, drabby landscape gets depressing. That's about it.

But today--today I was very excited to get out in the yard and get a jump start to yard work.

Daffodils, garlic, chrysanthemums and hyacinths have all broken through!
