Cleaning up

Well, we've had two warmish days (50 - 52 degrees) and that meant we had to get out into the garden --it's like there's a magnet out there, pulling you outside after such a long winter. I got some of last years plants cut down, and I managed to prune the wild rose a bit. There's more to do, but it's fun to do it slowly.

So far we have four purple crocus blooming in the east bed --always the first. There are crocus just showing their shoots in the birch bed, but that's about it. The back bed is still soaking wet and half frozen --it's in shade a lot this time of year, so it always takes it awhile to warm up.

Tomorrow we're expecting freezing rain and more snow --ah, March, the cruelest month!
