It’s hard to believe that in only a month and a half or so I’ll be looking at scenes like this in my front yard. The picture above is of tulips in bloom beside the previous autumns dried up Sedum flower heads. I’d neglected to remove the dried Sedum flowers in the fall and frankly I tend not to remove them as I think they look nice in the winter garden, however I was behind last spring as I’ve usually removed them by the time the tulips are in full bloom! The greenery behind the flowers are clumps of day lilies, not yet blooming, in my planted boulevard garden.<\/p>\n

So why am I finding it so hard to believe that Spring will ever arrive? Well look at this:<\/p>\n

I spent at least four hours shoveling snow yesterday and I’m just about to go outside to shovel again. I’ll probably be out there for at least an hour as the snow plows have gone by twice since I last shoveled and the sidewalk plow went by once as well! Groan. My back is aching! At least I’m getting some exercise!<\/p>\n
