The official sign of spring is here... my hyacinths are growing! One week there was nothing, this week there are leaves and the blooms have begun. I think they'll be opening within another week or two. I'm so excited! This will be their third year- my very good friend Joyce gave them to me as a housewarming gift when we bought this house. I'm not sure I've ever kept a bulb going so long! I started weeding today, but didn't get very far. Most of the weeds are still too small- it's easier to yank them after they get just a little bigger and I can pull the whole root system out. As soon as the first flowers start, I get crazy and want to buy whole car loads. The bad thing is that soon Bryan will have to start mowing the grass... not his favorite project. I am kind of keeping my fingers crossed that we might be able to afford a cordless electric mower- they are so much better for the environment and quieter as well.
I hope you are enjoying the first signs of spring, or at least enjoying the last days of winter!
