Our tulips are heralding the demise of Old Man Winter!
Our daffodils are trumpeting the arrival of warm(er) weather!
Our little Magnolia tree is celebrating the sunshine - three weeks later than last year!Hopefully the cold is over until next winter and springtime can proceed forthwith! I even got out and cleaned up some of last year's floral debris.
After scurrying around for a new cable modem, our old Motorola unit having bought the farm unexpectedly Thursday morning. Alas, we are joined at the hip to the Internet for our news of the outside world.
Since the Chicago Tribune decided they could no longer afford to deliver their product to "our area"! I'm guessing the wages paid to their delivery people ran smack into the escalating gas prices in our area! Did I mention that Tuesday PM, every gas station in our area suddenly jumped up to $3.43 from a variety of previous prices. Can you say "price fixing"?
And yes, the ground shook for us this morning! Actually only a few glasses in the cupboard rattled about 10:30, to signal a small aftershock of the rare geological event. We slept through the "BIG" one at 5:30!
No new stuff from WonderMom this week. She's been busy getting us back to normal after our return from AZ. She says,"We're all unpacked. The washing is done and the house is clean - ish!"

Gas is $3.48 here, I made sure to look– just for you!
Magnolia is beautiful, as are the daffys. Why, however, do you insist on such weird tulips! Of course I'm just jealous because the deer eat mine.
Damn deer.
Happy Spring! (Finally.)
These are the early "heritage" tulips. They're small and pointy. The big ones are starting to bud now and should bloom in the next week or so.
