Mark stuck around today, and finished writing a story, about which I will tell you more soon; and I worked hard on this freelance project (which was the final impetus for buying the Marvelous Books Of Reference yesterday); and in between working-episodes I played in the yard a bit, weeding and pruning and digging and planting, and things are blooming–here’s photos–
The wind came up just as I snapped this photo, but the little bleeding hearts are still pretty
Pink ones too!
Both the bleeding hearts are just amazing–I planted them last summer, and they sort of futzed along, never very happy, then they died back for the winter…then a few days ago they pretty much SPRANG FORTH fully formed and blooming–I have no explanation for it. But it’s awesome.
Also, tulips, and strawberry futures:
Pretty!
And that was the day.
