April has been a struggle for a bit here. It has been cold, and there have been rains, sleets, snows and other lousy weather things. Only yesterday (Palm Sunday, the 12th) did it finally get very nice. This released lots of pent up energy so raking, digging, building, fixing, carting and all the other ings are in full swing.
Since we were cooped up a bit, the first several pix are inside looking out.

The south facing kitchen window, geraniums, a few flats, the sofa and stained glass

The living room, a sister window with all kinds plants, the news, stuff on the table. .

The greenhouse is essentially between the living room and kitchen, off the front hall. Getting sort of crowded

The potting bench faces west. What a treat !!

Outside we go, to the bank and the dormant heather. Just you wait....

This is full of bulbs (that first crocus in March was at the far end. The sand is raked away and the bed cleared of big stuff. David will be pulling grass and weeds in the next day or two.

Crocus naturalized in the front lawn. There are daffies to follow.

These guys are in the raised bed along the front path, mostly herbs when it warms up.

In the back vegetable garden a lone purple crocus screamed CLOSEUP !

The wagon is moved and the Easter bunny decorated it and the sign post.

It took more than a few days as mentioned above. About 12 hours total time spread over 4 days. Lots of grass in there !!!. David tried to get every root. Time will tell.

Mary Alice decked out for Easter. She is the youngest grandchild, about to be 6 years old.

These scilla are underexposed to bring out the deep gentian-blue.
