So beautiful. I love flower gardens. So far the only thing blooming here are crocuses.
I wish I could see my crocuses. They're buried in snow. Daffodils too. I'm hoping for the tulips in early May. The snow better be gone by then.
Daffs aren't up yet here. Just poking up through the mulch. Same with my Irises. I can't grow tulips. The pesky little squirrels always steal the bulbs. They don't take others, just tulips.
My irises will be early May. My squirrels love the tulip bulbs too! But I finally outwitted them by keeping screen over the soil so they can't dig them up. At least so far, keeping my fingers crossed.
My neighbor hung a big plastic owl in his tree. Supposedly it frightens away the squirrels. It seemed to work because he had tulips, but the owl hanging from his tree wasn't all that attractive.
Do you gals grow tall summer flox? They are one of my favorites & Lilies. I love Delphinium too but can't grow them here because it doesn't stay cold enough long enough. I bet Blankie could grow them nicely.
I've never tried delphiniums. The pictures look beautiful though. I should see if they would work in my zone.
I do have lots of day lilies.
They should you have long cold winters. They thrive in European countries. My roommate weeded my flower bed & mulched a few years ago & pulled up my day lilies thinking they were grass. I only had 3 of them but they were a beautiful dark maroon color.
Hey now. What's all this hating going on? Today is good. You are alive, healthy, able to work. Have family and friends that love you. Food, clothing, shelter. And all your geeky buddies to keep you company.
Enjoy life. Don't spend your time hating.
Our daffodils are in full bloom. So are the trees, grass, and other early Spring things. The birds are out. There are a dozen or more of the finches in our front yard.
Hope everyone's afternoon is wonderful.
LL sorry to hear baby J is sick. Praying she feels better soon.
O4 have fun shopping.

Late to the party here. Had to go see the doctor. Got shots and anti-biotics. Right now I am not happy that DH shared so much with me this week.
Sorry baby J is sick, LL. Hope she is better soon.
O4, shop some for me, please. ;)
My tulips are up and so are the jonquils!!!
I see we need several sporks...
Gosh, wish I could crawl back into bed and stay there.

DH is out fishing again. That's all he wants to do lately. It's keeping him busy I guess.

Is he at least catching dinner?
Czech I hope you feel better soon. You have my permission to spend the rest of the day in bed. That is where a sick person belongs.
Who wants fish? We have so many in the freezer. I'm thinking next time he cooks up his haul we're going to have to feed the neighbors!
I hope all the sick people get better. Being sick is miserable.

I don't like fish but some people do.
I don't really like it either. He battered it in cornmeal (instead of flour because of our gluten free son) and fried it. It was okay. I ate it. I'm not a big fan. It wasn't bad though. I did laugh at him because he tried to feed the dogs the raw fish parts and they spit it out. But after it was all fried up they were begging for some.

For the past TWO HOURS, she an someone from another department have been at the reference desk YAPPING away.
I need to get some work done and I cannot concentrate.
flan
That bugs the bejeebers out of me. I don't care if people are slackers, but be quiet about it so other people can work.
She's normally NOT, though. And she's the same one who snapped at me a week ago.
flan
It's a library that doesn't have a "quiet" policy.
There were no patrons here, so it was dead.
flan
I don't see how that matters. If there WERE patrons there, you'd have to be dealing with their noise. Your job just doesn't have a reasonable expectation of peace and quiet.

We certainly do..."inside voices," just like the kids use in school. This is not 1935...

Please, you won't say anything to parents who dump their kids all day without food, I highly doubt you enforce the "inside voice" rule.
