Happy Spring

What a lovely weekend!  

• cleaned both birdbaths
• filled bird feeders  (okay, my sweet husband did this)
• dug up a ton of wild violets (sorry they are taking over)
• transfered perennial salvia from one bed to the other
• tied up new growth on climbing roses (ouch!)
• cut back ferns
• cut back liriopie
• planted seeds for transplanting
• started a new hydrangea from cuttings 
• gave returning perennials a good feeding and roses

 After going through the beds one more time I have sadly concluded  I've lost the lady's mantles, columbines and two of my astilbes.  I am certain it was not the winter, but the harsh temperatures of last summer.  I will replant.

Oh, did I forget to mention several perennials jumped in my wagon yesterday afternoon.  Oh my!

Bad photo, but I can't  resist sharing it.  I didn't have time to get the flash set before he jumped.
