This Week at Iten's Acres: First Day of Spring Break March 28, 2015

First day of spring break. (I don't know. Does this first Saturday count as the last day of last week school wise? Or the first day of the break? I vote break. I'll probably be doing school stuff next Saturday. Have to give the seniors tons of work when they get back to school--just so they know how much I love them.) Anyway, the "first" day of break is cold. A trace of snow covers the ground. Had to bundle up to take my morning hike..Not much has bloomed this week. Well, lots more crocus. And a few more orchard iris. Daffodils are coming up everywhere except the wild area, but that's always the case. Perhaps by the end of the week a few of the dwarf daffodils will bloom in the bed under the Ancient Maple. A couple Lenten rose seem eager to bloom this week as well. Most of today will be spent getting the door handles on the little red wagon fixed. I'm tired of climbing through the hatchback to get into my car. Good exercise, I suppose. The rest of this week there's work to be done on The Acres. I will enjoy it. Being a hermit is a wonderful thing for this old man. If you don't know what an orchard iris looks like, I'll post a few pictures on the page--three different varieties. They are quite small but beautiful. And add a little "differentness" to the early spring landscape. Have a marvelous day. Keep a handle on things.
