Spring Flowers

Back in January the Snowdrops were up. We had one lone snowdrop up in December and most of the other spring bulbs are now almost all blooming. Not disappointed at all about the lack of snow this winter.

Here is our witch hazel, it is past it's prime, but I thought I had already taken a few photos. It had a very pleasant fragrance. I hope to find a permanent location for it so it can get settled in and generate a lot of blooms next year.

Quite a few weekends ago we were doing some early spring cleaning in the basement sorting things into give-away, recycle, keep and garbage piles. My favorite daughter who lives in London no longer but has hopes to again soon is currently in residence with us. She initially didn't want to participate in the sorting, but once her doll house (which she had won) was slated to be torched, she gladly came down and joined in the fun.

We filled 2 contractor bags with trash, 4 boxes with give-away items, ended up with lots of paper/cardboard to recycle and other items to place at the curb hoping someone takes them before the garbage men do.

We also found a composition book with writings from my favorite daughter who goes to UMASS in Amherst, they were from third grade. Here are two poems.

Pigs
Pigs are lazey, pigs are crazy. Pigs are fat, but they'r not a cat.

Bugs
Some bugs can fly, but they don't sigh.
Some bite and some give light.
Bees can sting, but bees can't sing
