WHAT are these??

I love to do these cutesy little sketches. I am not taking any criticism on the artwork, constructive OR mean. Compliments are always welcome. Thanks. -the Artist.


The first Daffodil bloomed today or yesterday.



The Crocus in the back bloomed, on the first terrace all the way to the left. I think they looked thirsty.


OK. I have a feeling this will happen quite a few times this first year, but WHAT the HECK are these thingies???!! They look like Brussels Sprouts. They are growing by the raspberries. Does anyone know? Are they edible? Do I put them in my salad? Or will they cause gastro-intestinal failure if eaten?



The tulips will be blooming soon!! They are my favorite!

Crocus














The crocus started blooming in the front yard about the 2nd week of April, just after the blue flower. It was very sunny today, but it is pretty cool to see them coming through the snow.


Next year, I'll need to rake this area by the first week of April.

First blooms of the year

After searching for a house for a few months, I finally found one that I love. It came with a fully landscaped garden, something I've always wanted, but never had the space, time or know-how to do. I even got a tour from the previous owner of what was planted where and what would bloom when...since it was February and everything was still dead. I went straight to the house after closing to do cartwheels in my new living room. After I was satisfied with that, I did a couple of laps around the house and yard.


This blue flower was the first to bloom about the second week of April. I'm not sure what it is yet, but I will find out. They circle the maple out front.
