garden, etc.

While I was not paying attention over the weekend (mostly on Sunday, I think), the garden jumped into spring. The hyacinths in the NE garden are blooming, there is one(!) branch of the forsythia flowering and a few flowers scattered over the rest of the shrub, the white lilac in the front yard has leafed out, and the small daffodils by the well point have bloomed. The peonies are a few inches tall, and I need to get a ring around the one that I missed last year. The bleeding hearts under the living room window grew about 8" yesterday.

I need to figure out what we're going to do in the garden by the side door -- J cut down the dead sand cherry that was there, so it looks quite bare. We do need to build up the bed a bit before we do much there, but first we need to dig out the bulbs. Again. I think I've dug them up and replanted them more than I've done with any other garden.

Sunday was a day of music -- church in the morning, then a FCB concert in the afternoon. DB had a show to work at the old HS, which nicely bracketed my concert. (Drop DB at work, leave for concert, do concert & teardown, pick up DB after work.) The concert went well, other than a bad choice in ligatures leading to the premature death of two reeds. grumble.

I did something last week or late the week before, and my left knee has been bothering me again. So back into the dratted knee brace. ick.
