Spring has sprung a lot earlier than usual,
thanks to the winter that wasn't. Made it out for the day and started
the spring cleanup several weeks ahead of schedule - the fields weren't
even flooded! Cleaned up some buckthorn from behind the mound -
hopefully the stuff I planted/seeds I scattered will come up; cut back
perennials from the newish corner bed where all the crocuses are now
blooming and cleaned up a bit around the Magnolia where snowdrops have
been enjoying the fine weather. Shileau had a great day too!

Crocuses - or is it Croci? |

the 'Mound' - near the front - a pile of not too clean fill that over the past few years grew giant goldenrod and other stuff - trying to reclaim it! |
