Finally!!

I woke up last night to the sound of rain pounding against our windows. So far today, we've had hard rain, horizontal hail, snow, wind gusts up to 50 mph, dark clouds, sunbreaks...just about every kind of weather you can imagine. As Mom says, welcome to Spring in Idaho. Spring? This is spring? It seemed so wintery. Here's what it looks like now.
There's a window in our kitchen that looks out over the flower bed where I planted some bulbs last fall. All winter, all I've seen is the bark chips. And there's a lot of them. Every day, I look out the window, hoping to see a bit of green sneaking up through the brown. After today's weather, I figured that today was not the day. But, oh, look at what I found!

They grew!
This is my first time planting bulbs. As some of you know, I did not
inherit my mom's green thumb.
But, apparently, I can put something in the grounds, and it will grow!
The trees are trying their hardest to believe that spring it on the way.

Some perennials coming back from last year.

WELCOME SPRING!
So glad you decided to come for a visit!
