Spring Cleaning, the Yard

Being a glorious and splendid day on Sunday, I spent just a wee bit of time after the birthday barbeque in the yard. I could not help myself. I know. I KNOW! It's early. A full four weeks before the last average frost! I do know all that, but I just couldn't not do it. Just one corner. And maybe a bit more.

Then just a bit more on Monday. (Fortunately, Tuesday we were all involved with car-dealing or more would have been cleared...)

What could it hurt....

Nothing this week.  It's has been All. Spring! All The Time.  Stuff is growing by leaps and bounds.


Last week.


This week!

Last week...

This week!

(from seeds an old friend brought to me from Alaska...)
More...

And more...


It's heady stuff, and it's easy for me to be overcome with the whiff of fresh earth and chlorophyll.We might just have lilacs this year...(fingers crossed!)

I love it! My garden is greening up so much everyday there is something new for me to go find. But I have held off cleaning it, because of lack of time, not lack of want!

What are the tiny purple ones? We have those, too. They came with the house. And I don't know what they are!

You've done such a marvelous job of documenting springtime in the Rockies!!!

I do love spring so much. I do a walk around every day and look for the changes. It's so exciting.

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
