It’s supposed to be Spring, but this is the oddest weather I can remember having in April. The really good side to all of this is that the cooler weather is allowing the bloom on the daffodils, tulips, forsythia and star magnolia to last unusually long.
Dear Husband came home around 4:00. I was watching Mr. and Mrs. Mallard out the kitchen window. The change in the amount of greenery, and the shades of greenery between noon and 4:00 was astonishing! We had a chilly, rainy day, but the grass, the honeysuckle bushes, daylilies, chives and everything else in the herb garden just seemed to be jumping out of the ground, shaking off winter and embracing a new season!
I took the bows off the evergreen (or not so green) wreaths that had been stored in the garage during the last month or two. I save these bows from year to year and hadn’t gotten around to storing them. That paved the way to move wood from the wagon so that we could have a fire after dinner tonight. It was lovely, warm and inviting. I have enough wood left to repeat the fire tomorrow. Actually, I may refill the wagon and have a fire every night of the coming week, since it’s supposed to remain in the fifties all week long.
I hope we get a break in the stormy weather tomorrow. I’d like to take pictures of the daffodils at the front of the house. I thought I’d put together a book of pictures of the gardens so that I can remember what blooms and where it blooms. Like my mother, I seem to always want to plant something where something else already lives.
I hope you all have a great weekend!
