More Signs of Spring

With buds come deer. Deer with the munchies, of course. Waited too long to protect the tulips, and they are half eaten well before getting a chance to bloom.







They do not, however, seem to like rhubarb. Go figure.







Not bothering the redbud tree, either. Never have. See why they call it a REDbud?







Cilantro doesn't seem to attract any nibblers. At least not so you'd notice. Of course, lots of people don't like it either. I am not one of them. Fortunately! This will be the third year it comes back on its own in this pot that stayed out all winter.







Yay, hyacinths!

Yard Cleanup

Rhubarb
Thanks to the guys from Springdale Lawn Care, lots of little sprouts are now visible. Oh, and yet another golf ball. Six years I've been working in this yard, planting stuff everywhere, and still every spring, I find more golf balls. I do not play golf. I do not have friends or family members who practice in my yard. Not complaining, mind you, it is just weird.

Crocuses!

Spring has sprung! And not a moment too soon ;) The crocuses are smiling in the sun, and the daffodils are not too far behind...

March

I am always glad to see February in the rear view mirror. March came in like a lamb after February's lion-like exit. How do those 28 little days feel like two months year after year. Hopefully a few days of drying out before the spring rains begin in ernest. My poor yard.

Meanwhile, signs of hope and rebirth all around!
