Officially Spring

Okay, it's officially spring. Monte has cleared off all the leaves. For some reason our trees don't drop them until the green buds come in in the spring. He tilled the garden, and cleared out the flower beds. We planted 3 rows of peas, 2 rows of spinach, some basil, cilantro, parsley, marjoram, thyme, yellow squash, and zucchini and some onion sets. The chives are already about 4 inches high, the rhubarb is producing, the apple trees are budding, and there are teeny tiny purple buds on the lilac bushes! We managed to have 2 "tiffs" while working together in the garden. My husband's comment - "planting makes you cranky" The blue herons have been spotted down by the water and the geese are already settled in as well. I haven't seen a frog yet, but it won't be long. I have seen mosquitos. God's in His heaven and all's right with the world. Happy Spring to all!
