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.
