Stuff's up!

John came in my office earlier last week. He'd retrieved a pop can someone had thrown in our garden. While doing that he saw that crocuses (croci?), snowdrops, and these Louisiana irises were up and blooming.

I got out both days over the weekend to cart away detritus from last year's garden. I pruned back echinacea and peony stems, raked apple and oak tree leaves, and started weeding - the creeping charlie starts early in the season.
