There are signs of spring at 16 Morse! After a late morning/early afternoon of shopping for work clothes and walkies, we came home and did a little spring cleanup outside. The bulbs I planted last fall were starting to poke well through the cover of leaves I'd left on the bed, so I pulled out the knee pads and gardening gloves to work on that.
It looks like most of them came up -- yay! I had planted mixed daffodils (my fave; they should naturalize and return every year), blue wood hyacinths, crocuses (Ben's fave), and Siberian squill (a new one to me).

Gayle very thoughtfully thinned out some day lilies and columbine for me last summer, and I planted them at the end of the bed. They seem to have survived the winter, and I'm optimistic that we'll have some pretty variety later on after the bulbs have flowered and passed.

We have lots of ideas of what to do with the front yard and driveway -- it'll take some time, but it was nice to sit out on the porch with tea and talk over plans.

Between gardening and Ben's babysitting gig -- a break to shoot some hoops out back!
