St. Patrick's Day, 2012. In this part of Minnesota, all
the snow is long gone. It hasn't rained much at all. Still . . .
our yard's flower beds are beginning to show little sprouts
of new green growth (if you look close closely!) Nothing
blooming yet . . . but green leaves among the brown leaves.
That's all it takes for Elizabeth and me to get out there and
do a little tidying up, even though the local horticulturalists
advise to stay out of the gardens and stay off the "squishy
ground."
Note: There is no squishy ground in our parts . . . what
window are they looking from? Besides . . . how
do our Hmung friends grow so much produce early
and flood the local Farmer's Market "ahead of
season?"
Anyhow, it sure feels good to be out there tidying things up
and listening to the birds sing. Good exercise as well!
