abloom.......

ok, so my yard is abloom with the quince tree, the pear, the forsythia.....and the redbud just beginning to burst forth.......and then there are the tulips, the daffodils, the narcissia, the grape hyacinths........too bad the grass has bald patches, and has not yet been mowed......eventually i must learn to mow......but i am resisting the temptation to learn.......at least until there are no other options......at least 2 roses didn't seem to make the mild winter.......mrs. hardy and a tranplanted rose that may be reine de violette........but with old roses one doesn't get too worked up too quickly....these can come back from roots if the roots are still vital.....and i am willing to wait a bit longer before i get out the shovel.......ah, but i love springtime in the garden...........
