Friday Flowers

 

I was planning on posting about fiber today but I haven't gotten very far with the Yak. All this warm, window open kind of weather is not very conducive to woolly wool I'm afraid. I really should be getting ready for the 2024 Tour de Fleece but right now I've got spring fever. 

And who can blame me? Right outside my door my Narcissus are doing there thing. They are the cutest. The flowering season is very short here under the trees. Once the leaves fill in-that's it. 

My daffodils are making a valiant effort to push up through all the winter debris. My yard is a mess. With all the surgery we went through last year, I could barely keep up with the yard work and it shows. We've had rain all week but when that sun comes out I need to get to work.

I've got more crocus in bloom.

This used to be my favorite patch of them but it's getting smaller every year. Time to put in some new bulbs-if I remember. 

The giant pink camellia is so heavy with blooms and buds it's about to knock the fence over. We're going to have to trim it back as much as I hate to. 

I know this is an invasive species and I am supposed to kill it but I love all those little yellow flowers that are going to pop up everywhere in a few weeks. Right now we only have a few popping up here and there.

And...finally, I found one pitiful little Vinca in bloom. The vine has taken over the awful looking front beds. They need to be completely started over. The Mister is in fine form this year so no excuses. We need to spend a lot of time and money outside for a change.
