March 1

The peas and onions are peeping out.  We still need to make several more raised beds. 

My dad made this hanger for the bird feeders years and years ago.  We moved it to the back yard so I can see it from the kitchen window.

Mom's tulip tree is starting to bloom.  I still think it looks like sticks with flowers glued to the ends. My mother-in-law had one and I told her that once.  She gave me one as a joke and it's huge now.  It's one of the few things I've successfully grown. It's probably covered with blooms, too.

Her spring flowers are blooming, too.  They are all over the place.  Mom loved flowers and she had quite a green thumb.  I wonder how long they'll survive with me.

It was warm enough today to enjoy reading on the front porch.  (Ignore the dead flower.  That's an example of what happens to plants when I get ahold of them.)

Mom's cat Puddin is enjoying the warm weather, too.
