Starting a New Life / Van Morrison / 1971

We can’t fix what Trump and the rest of the monsters that rule this planet are doing.
BUT we can Garden.
Therefore, We Garden.

Let the Gardening begin !!!

Spring was late.
After a good Winter in which we saw an incredible Chinook that lasted 3 weeks (never seen that before) and

where Spring manifested with a snow storm and a 3 day wind storm
we answer by standing on the verge of
GARDENING!

And even today as many trees have not yet popped their leaves,
but we will not be deterred!!

Per usual the first flowers to appear in our Garden were the Prairie (purple) Crocus and the Golden Crocus.
Beautiful.
Yet they were crushed by a Spring snow storm.

Only Purple made a comeback. Tragic.
But we endure!

Then, the Tulips exploded!

Our present problem now is: NO RAIN! It hasn’t rained – anywhere around here.
(You know, I really wouldn’t want to be Farmer these days)

Daffodils also!

Crowning everything was our
Rubra Maxima / Crown Imperial!

Amazing !!!
(But notice we haven’t put our snow shovels away yet.
We weren’t born yesterday.)

And Rose is just getting started:

Tally HO!
