Rhubarb hills transplanted from grandma's garden in the '60s |
Day 5
Yes, yes. I'm behind in posting. Been busy having fun. Gimme a break. First day back to work today, and vacation glow lingers. Ahhhh.
Highlights: Last root canal appointment, breakfast with my parents (zucchini bread french toast). Neither of these photographed well.
But the spring discoveries in my parents' yard -- that's another story. Flowers were dressed like spring, themselves.
Raised beds -- daffodils and heliotrope |
Notice the little purple wild violets along the edge of the top bed |

Day 6
Quilt store shopping and cut-cut-cutting out fabrics for a quilt for my mom.

Are the succulents newly planted or did they survive the winter? I can't believe so many flowers have bloomed already!
The succulents wintered over. I believe they're several years old already, so it isn't just our mild winter.
