Spring at Last

May:  Easter was late this year, but in the Rockies winter lingers, teasing us with a sprinkle of warm days, even a few hot days. But the rule here is: No planting flowers before Mother's Day or you will have to plant again. Sure enough, this year blizzards blew in--with a tornado in tow!

Mother’s Day safely past, Jesse is out in the yard moving rocks and mixing sheep manure into the bags of topsoil. After consultation with the Internet to see where it was cheapest, he is also spreading Weed and Feed on the grass.

June: The nice lady from across the street gave Jesse a paper bag of flower seeds that he used to carpet a new bed around the Little Free Library. The red roses seem to love their new white trellises Jesse optimistically planted for them.
