The snow and ice are finally gone; it's time to celebrate. The sun helped us by making an appearance this weekend and the dogs, cat, chickens and flowers joined in the fun.

The crocus plants are in bloom and the daffodils promise to blossom soon.

| Vision in Red Astilbe for Mom's Garden |
I usually try to clean up the two little garden plots in the Friendly Forest that my father made to honor my mother. In the past I have been able to add some spring flowers, but the weather threatens to turn cold this coming week. I bought two red astilbe plants at the Warehouse, but won't plant them until later.

| Gardening Help from Asher |
For now Asher and I raked and weeded the gardens and the area around them. Well, I raked and weeded, Asher dug holes - perhaps for future plantings.

The chickens are particularly fond of warm weather. They wander near and far in search of grubs and worms.

The only one missing is Mr. French - he prefers to enjoy the mild weather at evening's twilight.
