Not a sunflower, sadly.

Posted on April 30, 2018 by Lily

I checked on the possible sunflower after coming home from an errand today, and noticed the stem was getting a bit ruddy.  I checked the other spots where I had planted sunflowers last year that also did not sprout, and found one other in the right side front porch bed.

Look, ma! I'm green!

Time to get the rain barrel out.

Posted on April 24, 2018 by Lily

I checked the weather a bit ago, and night time temps will be roughly 10°F +/- above freezing the rest of the week.  We have rain on the way starting tonight, but gentle winds, so today I’ll haul out our rain barrel from the cellar, and get it in place so it can take in some water before the winds pick up a wee bit tomorrow.
