Given sunshine and mild temperatures, no wind and a free Saturday: the roses now possess neat short thorny canes, the peach tree is tidily pruned, the oak tree lost 2 rows of lower branches so the sun can penetrate to the flowers below, and the Spring transplant list is complete.
Granted, Sunday was a tad inclement. I haven't yet dug in some new soil amendments, so the new irises have not been planted...but I did acquire two red- and two white-bleeding hearts for the shady side yard as well as a columbine for under the pin oak, so it wasn't a total loss.
If I have just one nice afternoon this week, everything will be planted. Heck, just give me a warm lunch hour or two. Maybe this year, it's Spring that will come in like a lion and out like a lamb. Baaaaa.
