Can you even begin to guess what flower this is about to open? Today it has rained off and on. The yard needed a good drink of water. It also gave me a break from yard work...I got to finish a quilt top...yea! Please don't everybody that I owe a quilt to get excited. My newest little buddy, Carter, will be coming soon and he needs a Wammy Quilt. I will post pick on another blog one of these days...who knows I might just have another blog about quilting. I don't see why not. Anyway, have you figured out the mystery flower?
Two clematis actually opened up sometime today. They are climbing up a ladder on the fence by Ms Renee's house. I think by the looks of it this early in the spring...it might make it up and over the fence this year.

Early Bloomers
I'm thinking I am in a morning routine. After everyone has settled or gone off to work or school, I take a walk around the yard. I try to decide what I am going to tackle for the day. The I look for new color. Something new that has come up seems like overnight.
Our first pink rhodie. The bush looks really sad. We didn't think there was any life in the old gal. But look...she is blushing!
A few years ago when clearing brush from the back if the yard I found four Jack-In-The-Pulpits. Very gingerly I transplanted them under the oak tree by the fire pit. Today I am finding them all over the yard. Thank you Mr. Squirrel for that!
I am so glad that dear don't like the taste of daffodils. I can't count how many different varieties we have coming up. Thank you previous, previous owners.
And I don't think I remember these little beauties. I'll have to go back int he archives to check. I am so looking forward to tomorrows walk. It is starting to thunder and rain. That means that things will be popping out all over the place. I can't wait.

The Yard Amazes Me
Azaleas
Last year Betsy dug up a small shoot from her Oak Leaf Hydrangea. I planted it out front and prayed that it would make it through the winter. I have been watching for some kind of life. Then yesterday all of a sudden..there are green leaves on the tips of three of the branches! Yea, I didn't kill it. The dog wasn't able to kill it. The kids didn't kill it either. Yea! Now I will have to be patient and wait to see what color the blossoms are.
Betsy's Bud
I notice this little beauty after out walk this morning. I had to take a picture of it right away before the deer find it and nibble it down to the ground. Darn deer. Maybe I have tricked them since I have planted tulip bulbs up close to the front of the house. But there is no tricking those stinkin squirrels. I know I planted 150 tulip bulbs out front along the garage wall and I bet there aren't 50 left. There are actually five that are getting ready to bloom. I'll keep count and start researching now to see how I can plant tulip bulbs so the squirrels can't get them. Drives me crazy!!
First Tulip of the Year
