First signs of Spring!

I won't start seeds for another 4-6 weeks yet, but I put garlic in yesterday.

Today if it is still nice I am going to start cleaning last years debris out of the beds. DH wants to get weed barrier down before the grass starts coming back. Last year he was too busy to mess with it and we got overwhelmed with weeds.

Here in Indiana dh & I went for a walk yesterday with our dog and we saw some robins!!!!! It was a lovely day yesterday 57 and sunny! whooo hooo!!!! I'm loving it!!!! Also I had a big orange and black bug in my kitchen it flew in from outside I don't know what it was. I usually see them in the fall by our pond. I also saw flies outside.

My crocus, daffodils and tulips have made their presence known above ground. I also have many tiny little buds on my azaleas and some have just barely cracked open to show a shocking pink color inside. I am so ready for the sunshine!!!

I saw several bees today. One wouldn't leave me alone.

We were laughing at rose bugs all over the sidewalk at the dentists last week. We saw a few Canadian geese back. Too bad the wild has them flying sideways!!
Spring-still but a dream here. And to whoever said it-50 degrees is ditch your winter coat weather here.

It's officially spring in our parts. The daffodils are all in bloom and so is the wild mustard that grows in fields and empty lots around here. Some of the trees are already in bloom too.

I have spring fever!! I was outside yesterday and today, it was beautiful. A little cooler today than yesterday but I'll take it. Cleared some sticks out of the yard and cleaned up around the chicken coop. Felt good to be out in the yard. I had all the pets out all afternoon.

Definately feels like spring is just around the corner. When I opened the door I could hear birds chirping. Checked on my minature rose bush that is in a pot and was pleased to see it has buds on it. All the other potted plants in the front seemed to make it through the winter. Yea.
