HOT, Spring
This weekend I have been working my yard and front flower bed a bit. It has been such lovely weather here.
I should be soon having my tulips blossom and my grape Hyacinths are coming up really to pop their sweet delicate purple heads. Oh I love spring!
What is even better ( crosses fingers ) my bad allergies have been pretty good too. I usually this time of year when things start to bloom have such sinus problems. I switched earlier in the year to Clartin then a month later Allegra. That way my allergies cannot not compete for my attention LOL.
Memow has spring fever too even though he is fixed. HA! He keeps trying To run out the door, the silly cat. We have to watch him closely. Aaron was playing outside almost every day with his friends and it drove that cat nuts. he would cry and cry at Aaron outside. I felt bad like maybe I should get leash for him but HA! I remember last time I tried that with a cat.
My windows are open and the air outside is warmer than inside. It feels like spring now and a bit like summer. I was outside sweating up a storm and had to come in from work. I have exercise asthma so I try and be careful in the hot weather. When I get an attack it is pretty bad not to feel sick the rest of the day.
I planted Peonies in the back yard and am excited to see if they will come up. I am scared I did it wrong even though I followed directions.
Here is picture off the internet of the kind I planted. I really hope it works out. I might not get flowers this year but I don’t mind the wait as long as they grow nicely.
Are you planting anything this spring? I always say in the fall I am not going to plant again the next year but yesterday hubby took me to Lowes to get a few things and I bought more seeds. LOL I am hopeless.
I am planting squash, peas, tomatoes, herbs and a few sunflowers.
I made a container garden and when I am done filling and planting them all I’ll take a picture.
Have a nice day!

I still have snow, although the temps have been going up
My sinuses used to be at their worst this time of year. Now thanks to Zyrtec and a steroid nose spray that costs $100 every two weeks it’s not so bad.
All of my wife’s cats want to go outside. It’s hard to get outside to feed the outside cats without someone getting out. One thing I learned the hard way was that if a house cat gets outside they’re lost.
Peony is hard to grow in Southern California. Good luck in growing them, they do have beautiful blooms.
It was very nice here yesterday, in the 80′s. It did feel a bit like summer.
it’s wet and wet here, hope the sun will come out soon.
looking forward to your harvests!
I bet your garden will be beautiful.
