I am right with you in being excited to see what new things are popping up, marveling at how much things have grown, and just being excited to be able to be outside more. We've had some cold, rainy days, which have been good for the plants, but I'm ready for the 70s they are predicting for the next week.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507050173444646286.post-36571753994148377022014-04-29T21:32:57.083-04:002014-04-29T21:32:57.083-04:00You have a lot of beautiful color in your garden. ...You have a lot of beautiful color in your garden.

It's a new subdivision, and the trees are still too small to house them. But we're about ten years old now, and another friend said the squirrels finally showed up in her neighborhood when they hit about 15 years. They can stay away if they want!
