A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

It is a little chilly and the wind is a little strong, but the sun is shining and it is clear and dry, so I cleaned up a little in the front and side yards. Now the crocuses in front of and just a little underneath the azalea bushes are free of leaves and little branches in their little faces. More and more of them are blooming everyday. They seem to be spreading pretty well. The irises are starting to come up on the side of the steps and the peony bush is already showing its stems. I planted a few hyacinths that I had dug up from the backyard last fall in front of the azaleas, too. Hopefully they will take root and grow and can now actually be seen and appreciated by more than just me.
