Well I got it.
My Jonquils little bud heads are about to pop open.
The weather is so nice I have my windows open, even thought it's just a tad cool.
I am ready to camp, fish and garden. My hands are just aching to dig in the dirt and it's doesn't healp any that the seed and flower catalogs are coming in.
I know it's too early to start but I got the itch.
Anyone else???

Yep, I am sure we will but it will be fewer day's, I hope.
Hopefully any harsh weather will get over with and just the rain will continue. I can't have cold weather in April or I can't make Wildflower honey.
Also last year my Bleeding Hearts only made it about a week or so and then the were gone.
I have noticed in several places that the trees are starting to get little buds on them.

Well, we still have about 6 weeks or more of winter. I hope we don't have a late freeze like we did last year. It killed my small japanese tree and hurt several of the others. Oh well, daylight savings time will get here a month from today, and I love that!!

yep, coosa... can already tell the days are getting a bit longer. I wouldn't mind DST all year round! I hate it when it is dark before hunny gets home from work and his evening errands!

I'll be dusting off that fishing pole & putting that & the tackle box in my car! You just never know when you have that opportunity to fish!
My jonquils are sprouting too. I hope they don't get too frozen through the weeks.

My sweet neighbor brought me a get well planter of different bulbs that are sprouting.
Different tulips and paperwhites I believe, they haven't bloomed yet so it will be a surprise.
Then I can transplant them in my flower beds.

Wow, what a great gift! Since I don't know where you live I can't give you a gift Bee. Hope you are back to 100% (or in your case 150%) real soon.

Well it's the thought that counts. SO you would probably give me 50 yellow roses.
How's that?

That's super nice! I'd probably kill mine. I've never planted a bulb in my life, except to screw them in the light fixture!  |
