More at Home

The story of spring continues at our house.  And there's so much to post about that I'm going back to some daily posts for awhile.  The big story is that hostas have broken ground, with their spikes pointing to the sky.  They were the biggest component of the garden at our previous home, and they're still a big part of the garden here.  They are the biggest part of the view out my window, so the hosta spikes portend big things to come.

I watch closely every year for any sign of these poking up.  The leaves stay green over winter, as you can see, which is how they get their name.

One clump got discarded into this big pot last year, but they are growing anyway!

Now I know there are white Grape Hyacinth as well as the normal blue ones,

My other favourite here are the ferns; we have about 10 species.  This is a Christmas Fern, just unfolding its fuzzy fiddleheads.

Don't know how I photographed the Azalea with the zoom on this little phone camera, but it worked.

The rabbit looked up from chewing on a dandelion leaf, but otherwise ignored me.
