spring things 2025

 There's a slow creep of green...

columbine

hairy rock cress

sedum

field speedwell

...and a bit of color too!  These daffodils were ready to POP earlier this week!



The best time to pick is just before they open up.


...because they open...


...fast!


We've got daylilies coming up too.


We had a big storm last week, and several trees were down....some completely uprooted.  A blooming elm tree was one such victim, but at least I got to pick some branches for another spring bouquet.

 
I love the flowers.


Almost a month later than planned, I finally got some sweet peas planted as well.


They're so easy.  No soaking, no nicking, no heat mats or special lights.  Put them in containers with damp soil...


...and put them in a cool, dark place.  In ten days, you'll have seedlings.  Calendar marked!

The warm weather turned our normally rambunctious kittens into drowsy, lazy cats.




The reprieve is kind of nice.  Maybe they're finally growing up!

Have a great week!  

P.S.  Check out the SPRING CHORUS at one of our favorite spring hiking locations, Bean Blossom Bottoms.  The spring peepers have been out in force in our pond and as soon as the water level recedes, we'll be heading to "BBB" to check it out!
