been to nice to be indoors. Been catching up on a few must do projects. The roofers came yesterday and started on the house, They are almost done with the house and will start on the gargage. That hall storm, we got last summer really  did a number on everyones roof. I got two sides on the old garden shed  wire brushed and ready for paint . The can said 50 degrees... I have 3 days off next week I must have a talk with the mother nature and see if she can help out, just this one time.LOL I have ordered vines to go up the  two sides. 

The flower beds are all ready for plants, I think the bleeding hearts I planted a month ago when it was so nice  died.They have not come up as of yet. I do that every year. I go into stores like Walmart and see these boxed plants, bring them home and kill em, because the ground is still to cold to plant anything.Oh well if they were in the store they would have dried up by now. Why do those store get plants so early?Because planting nuts like me buy them!!!!

 When I ordered plants from the catalog, I told them not to send it before the 10th of may or I would not except it.Good grief it was in the teens just a few days ago.

  It amazes me anything is alive this spring. The buds on my plum tree is black and crispy as are the lilics, How sad another spring without that wonderful smell in our gardens. What is really cool is how sturdy daffodil's and tulips are. They were under 16 inches of snow and they never even layed down.
