Spring is springing...

A brief respite from the weather gave me a little time outside.

My husband took me to Hobby Lobby Saturday and let me pick out some new goodies.  My ever evolving master bath now has some new artwork and I placed gazing balls in some hanging planters where no plants seem to want to grow.  I insisted on toting home a broken rocking chair that someone dumped in the Lowe's parking lot a couple months ago and a few screws later, I now have a cute planter in my gramma garden.

I got my first crocus bloom today!

I purchased crocus bulbs last Fall...they sat in the shop all winter...I'm going to try to pop them in the ground, but not sure they'll take. 

I did spend yesterday trimming shrubs in the wetlands...discovered we have a native Osoberry (Indian plum) tree that I had never identified before.  I got at least 2 dozen native willow branches to make new tree starts that I will give away to other growers of natives.  I have so many willows, I have to keep them trimmed so they don't take over.

Looks great!
