Back to Life

I actually got out into the garden today and surprise, surprise, there are a few things coming up.

Like the snowdrops. Almost in bloom.





The primroses are starting to peek out.




And a big fat bud on one of the tree peonies.





I even noticed some daffodils and tulips pushing through the soil. Before you know it they'll be blooming. It's been a short winter here. I wouldn't mind some more snow. On the other hand I'm looking forward to a change of season. Change is what's needed right now, at least for me.

Anything happening in your garden?

Plants and Chickens

Seems as if all the bloggers are posting about which plants are coming up in their gardens.
Such as: A Gardener in Progress, Barbara's Garden Chronicles, Gardening by Trial and Error, Here on the Prairies, Keewee's Garden and Nest Maker to name a few.

Sounded like a good idea to go check out our garden. (I had an ulterior motive as you'll see.)

Here is some growth on an aquilegia.




And my hellebore has some new leaves.






The primroses are showing life.













And some daffodils are getting brave.



















While I was photographing the poppies Tootsie decided to get into the act.

(Chickens are very curious.)





Here's another short video of the "girls"; showing both their sweet and their destructive sides.






Did you notice my sleeves in the above photos? My original plan was to entice you, dear readers, with a hint of what I've been knitting lately. (It's another sweater, my second.) But I haven't managed to have Kim take a photo of me in it yet so you'll have to wait for another post to see it and the other items I've been busy working on.

What have you been doing to pass the time this winter?

For a laugh here's another fun animal video courtesy of Here on the Prairies.

Yay! Snow!





We woke up to some new snow this morning. We're excited because this weekend we're snowshoeing to a winter Yurt and we really wanted to have fresh snow for that. We'll be spending two nights at the yurt with my niece and her friend Steph. We'll be taking our Husky/Corgi mix, Chelsea, who adores the snow. Should be a fun time. We'll be taking our supplies in on sleds. I joked that we needed an extra person to carry the wine. (not quite). We're all looking forward to getting out of town, that's for sure.
