Spring Flowers

It is a beautiful day today. The gorgeous oriole is eating out of the Hummingbird feeder and the Goldfinch are finally back. All the flowers are blooming and it really is pretty along side the house. I put a smaller hanging basket out the other day and the plant seems to be doing ok. It is supposed to grow and hang down over the basket. It has several colors. It will probably attract butterflies.

Where Have All The Tulips Gone?

Where are all the Tulips? They always come up through the snow and are so hardy. But this year, my husband thought he saw one green leaf and we haven't seen any since. I hope that the snow melting and turning to ice, hasn't frozen them out. That happened one year where the rain fell on the snow and made such a crust, it froze out all the flowers. It will sure be good to see them pop up if they are going to do so. We have beautiful yellow peony tulips that are full and have 2 and 3 on a stem. They are special. Sure hope they survived.
