HERE AT LAST

Last week I went through the yearly job of rounding up the strays. Oh, how those little seeds spread throughout the entire garden. I went out with my trowel and ice cream bucket. Patiently I sought out each tiny little plant coming up in all the wrong places and dug each one out gathering them together in my little pail. As the grouping grew the bottom of the pail filled up and when it was tightly full I found the perfect spot for planting it again. I dug a nice round hole and carefully placed the entire circle of volunteer seedlings into the hole. I now had a lovely circle of bachelor button's, sweet williams, daisies and dianthus. Now to wait for next years roundup.
Our first rain but the air is so cold that you wonder if it will freeze coming down. At least the ground will be getting moisture to help all those wonderful little seeds that have waited all winter to begin their sprouting and growth . Now for the warmth to come and encourage all those dormant bulbs into existance.
So much is going on under the ground and if only our patience can endure the wait to see the beauty arise in our back yards. Time just seems to go by so S L O W L Y!!!
Until next time and there is more news to pass on. Bye
