Bring it on Spring!

So I spent this week at home tending my sickie sister yet again. I have not seen my little people or the garden, but I can imagine its doing well. As of Thursday last week this is what the flowers looked like, hopefully tomorrow we will be completely updated on our possible hyacinth births! There is also the corner now that its free of rosebush!




Also I have been working on making windchimes! The last one was origami right? Well this time I made a flat windchime that rest against the wall and I made it of stones, an old watch, and a big butterfly ring.

Babies!

Well I know its been some time since I last reported in, but some of you might not realize, we actually how CAN'T you realize! just how nice its been outside. It literally still is the winter months and I'm sleeping with windows open at night. This is a grand thing everyone and just over the last few days at work I have great news!

Because of the lovely days we've been having I have been enjoying some time out in the garden with the kids during work, cleaning out all last winter and falls leaves, only to reveal... BABIES!

These are the hyacinth bulbs that I had planted last autumn. I planted eight and they have all arisen! Along with another 40 something bulbs of babies that are happily springing forth with tiny buds. On Saturday I also worked, but I spent some more time in the garden and I happy to report NO MORE ROSEWEED! People can claim all they want that rosebushes are nice, I think they are scrappy and annoying. I yanked them forth after a nice hard rain and tada! The bench corner is now ready for some mass lavendering! So exciting.

Tomorrow I will draw a scheme for the rest of things, but we have a great amount of work ahead. We were given the go ahead for the front yard as well. Time to get working!
