Rain, Sleet, and Snow.......

The thunder and lighting for half the night gave us some needed moisture. The afternoon proceeded into a change of  scattered snow shower with lots of wind.  It is still winter in our area.

I don’t think that I lost a single iris over the winter.  This looks a little messed up with dead foliage but I won’t clear any of it until April. I am thinking that the whole area that was planted in a hurry could be turned into a country cottage garden by placing groups of other kinds of flowers among the iris and dallies. They could be annuals and more perennials.  A nice garden feature would perk it up and I won’t let the pumpkins take the over the whole area this year.

Out front I have more tulips pushing through.  I planted them last fall and I don’t have a clue as to what colors they will be. My mulch on this looks really chunky but I am zoomed in to get a good view of the tulips.

I discover that I had a wood pile left from the former owner.  I didn’t find it until I cut back the red twigs. I don’t have anything to put them in for burning and I don’t think I will buy anything.  I will have to ship them to the old place where a neighbor uses wood at a campsite that she manages.

My plastic Canadas who don’t migrate did get a move in their location yesterday. They may get a coat of snow on their backs tonight and tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by today.
