Spriiiiing!!..It here!!!

Well its here,..at last I have been sooo restless.The sun is shinning and promising new growth. I am out and not "IN".
Everything is comming UP!!
Lets look and see what is comming up: )
The Hollyhocks(black?)..

The Sedum

The lilies I recieved from someone in Orleans last year


The Lambs ear is recouping


The tansy is back in full force of course

The rose bush is trying

I "think" this is a fluffy pom pom sunflower thingy from Jen

A tree weathered by the weight from the snow comes back to shape..kinda..Its a mess...sigh..

Then there is that bush with the really lovely rose type flowers..oh my poor memory,..what ARE they called..My brain will never come back

The new tulip bulbs are freshly chewed..thanks there my fellow sqirrels and wabbits..

The dog hair (Gypsy the German Sheperds contribution ) is keeping them at bay somewhat..and the water fountain ornament is smashed from falling ice from the roof.

Hmmmm...maybe I can glue it,..frugal me will find a way..boat glue?
Oh,...and what is that Sedum with the tiny yellow stars..star sedum?

The Rain barrels for the Orleans community gardens are waiting to be brought back to the gardens after being stored at our place all winter..

....And finally the pond stares out at me begging to be fixed for another summer.

I think I broke the bottom whilst cleaning it out last year and dropping some rocks into it a little heavy handedly..its ok..i found another by the curb..a bigger one.!..although its not leaking ,..but it will.
Can you guess what this is..?

Its a see through suitcase i found with a cat litter top in it to hold up the sides of the suitcase..an instant mini greenhouse.
Last but not least..Davids loyal Columbine plants are up again this year.

Yes,...Its spring..and after a long, long winter..I'm back in the garden..horray!!
