gardening 101 with this crazy spring...

find all the long sleeved clothes you own and put them on...
47 here this morning while we were out...
wind chill of 44...

make sure you have your wool gloves on...
that is important...

buy a new nozzle from the hardware store if your old one got killed during the winter...

and then water all your spring plants if all the rains have missed you...
south of us yesterday, they got dumped on...
they also had mothball sized hail for about 10 minutes...

maybe watering isn't such a bad thing after all...

want the blooms to keep happening...

don't forget the little guys...

and the ones hiding...

awesome!

ok, so its 47 now...
warmer tomorrow...
and then 90 on Monday?

no wonder I have my kleenex box handy at all times...

sedum is growing...

and  my new spade...
to go along with the nozzle...
guys are hard on things, aren't they?

well the furnace is back on...
even with it chilly today, this is our warmest March on record now...
and its almost done...
now onto April...
Doug's birthday is tomorrow...
31 freakin' years old...
can't be so...
I was just 31...
wasn't I ?
the best thing about getting older is being a little senile...
I like my own little perfect world...
when things start malfunctioning...
my motto is to fight back...
and build your own empire!

have a great weekend, everyone...
be safe and be blessed...

I have 4 O'Clocks and Lupine coming up and ready to plant, soon. We haven't had frost in several weeks.

The tulips are beautiful, I don't have any tulips left, they all gave up.
