The Colors are Coming Back

It's amazing how red the Dogwoods are getting, and today was the first time I noticed how bright yellow the willows are becoming. There is a cold rain today, but with a couple of warmer days the green will return to the lawn I'm hoping.

The ice is completely gone from the pond, and I will begin to move the rocks and stones soon so we can dig a larger hole. Once they are gone, I can start looking for sprouts of plants around the old perimeter, and moving them to safe locations. Already up around the yard are lots of tulips, many of the daylilies are sprouting, a couple of dafodil clumps are visible, the Aliums are all up a couple of inches, many crocuses. The Pyrethrum plant under the hose reel is sprouting, and the first Winter Aconite flower is yellow and starting to emerge.
