forecast some evening for 5F with
-2F windchill and some other evenings
of low teenies. hmmm...

i just went out yesterday morning
and took a picture of a flower spike
of a early iris coming up. i don't
think it's going to get through the
snow and ice layer any time soon.
bugger heavy too! shoveling in
stages to give the back a rest.

i had a bunch of crocuses out and
plenty coming up and many early
species tulips had curled up their
first leaves and flattened them on
the ground. very pretty red colors
in the leaves. can't wait to
actually see them flower. patience
grasshopper...

brr!

and

grr!

i was ready to get out and do some
weeding and planting. ah well, more
time to practice guitar and catch up
on my indoor TODO list.
