Yesterday and today I have done some gardening work outside, cleaning up the front landscaping of leaves and sticks etc, and trimming back rose bushes, lavender, and fall mums. I was happy to find tulips, daffodils, irises and lilies all up about 3 or 4 inches. In bloom are crocuses, and ready to bloom is the pussy willow tree and forsythia bush. Buds are on the big trees, grass is greening up, goldfinches are showing some yellow feathers and I saw a red-winged blackbird the other day - all signs of spring!! Today for a treat, I bought some beautiful pansies and put them in several planters outside. It is so exciting, these first few chores of the new season!!
