Chives in a Box....

Iowa weather is getting better. We are cool and warm, but we definitely are getting longer days of stronger light. The grass looks a little greener even though southern Iowa had snow today.
The tulips are tough and really don't care if it is cold. An ice storm will damage them but other wise a little snow won't hurt them. I am anxious to see the color of the tulips. It has been a long time.
The chives in the box are doing well in spite that I have not change the soil in that container in years. I actually made that redwood box probably 25 years ago and it just keeps on ticking. I will try to dig in and put some potting soil in there pretty soon once it stays warmer.
I haven't seen any bird activity at my birdhouse. I built if first for decoration but secondly it would be nice of something goes in to it. I can count on the sparrows to move in if nothing else does. I saw Martins at a neighbors birdhouse a week ago so I guess I won't get Martins. Either way I will really enjoy the house.
We bought a garden statue of an orange tabby cat at K-mart today. It was hard to do but we think that later we will be glad we did. It looks a lot like our manx kitten that we just lost and it strangely was designed to have a bobbed tail, just like our Nala. I may later photograph it and share. We will put it out on a bench out under the apple tree next to her grave. Thanks for reading.
