A flood of daffodils in the NW bed, a scattering of hyacinths in all the beds, blue-eyed grass in the sidebed. The 'wild' tulips in the warm bed bloomed last week and have faded, but there are lots more to come in other flowerbeds. The Crown Imperial in the East bed have recovered from their freeze last week and are standing up straight again. The deer have been nibbling on the stuff coming up in the far east bed, which is only a few feet from the untouched near east bed. weird. The standard tulips in the warmer beds have well-developed buds, while the ones in the cooler beds are just leaves. The bleeding hearts have sent up 2-3 inches of shoots over the last few days. The peonies have also poked stems through. Unfortunately, the weeds have also begun to sprout, and I need to start dealing with them. I think it will be dry enough to work somewhere outside today.

I saw the first of probably many goldfinches in summer colors.

Yesterday was a busy day -- church stuff in the morning, a quick lunch, then off to Farmington for a concert. After an afternoon of wrangling a large saxophone, chairs and stands, food and tables for a reception, and a set of chimes, I'm stiff today. (I had to return the chimes to the high school this morning, too.) Working in the garden will probably help.
