Our chipmunk population has been redesigning our gardens. I have a wave of tiny purple crocus across the garden at the foot of the sidewalk. I was sure that I planted crocus closer to the front door! There’s still one gold crocus, and a white one, but these tiny purple ones are multiplying and making a pretty spring statement.
The iris seem happy with the weather. I see short leaves from all of them. I hope to do a major redesign of the sidewalk garden and I’ll be sorry to move all those iris. We haven’t recovered from the move of two years ago. I suppose that means that this would be the right time to make the adjustments.
I wish I could tell you that I had made good use of the 60 degree weather yesterday and today. Unfortunately, I’ve been chained to my desk this afternoon. I may go out for 30 minutes to rake the gravel off the front lawn. The chipmunks aren’t the only ones who have been redesigning here. Dear Husband relocated the lawn in four places when he plowed the driveway this winter, so we need to roll out the lawn and reseed. Too bad I can’t get the chipmunks to work with DH. 😉
Arrrgh!!!
It's just my state of mind!
Gotta love those chipmunk garden designers! Every year it is an adventure to find crocus, which were only planted by the steps to the driveway. There certainly aren’t any there anymore and I find them in some of the oddest places.
Buffy–Your posting made me go look, outside, to see if we had anything coming up. At that time (a few days ago), we did not. You are ahead of us. Since then, the tulips and daffodils have sprung up a couple of inches. Having no chipmunks, we must content ourselves with having black walnut trees springing up all over the place – from our squirrels.
