You are lucky that the squirrels and deer did not dig them up and destroy them.

At least most of our daffodils survived as they are supposed to be deer and squirrel proof, and most were ignored as the book says and they actually bloomed.

Luckily, these tulips are in a raised bed that is in our back yard, which is totally enclosed by a fence. The dogs seem to keep these varmints away.

That's good news, even if they don't look like badgers... 😉

Well, even Molly, our Glen of Imaal terrier works to keep badgers on the other side of the fence.

That looks almost picture-perfect, and I trust the water is warm but just nicely refreshing. Unfortunately, that seems to be wishful thinking according to some comments about the place at Google Maps.

But that should help rinse out the dust from one's hair after a nice bike ride. 😉

Feels hot today it's 29 going to 31 - feels like 36. Yesterday was glorious on the Tablelands.

Snowed a bunch today, and this is after it had all melted. Might have to shovel tomorrow.

Thank God we do not have any lawns to cut around our house, that was one of my stipulations when we built our home here 20+ years ago, otherwise, my wife would be cutting the lawn anyway due to my leg and feet problems.

The crushed gravel pathways make a nice contrast for the flowerbeds which are mainly shrubbery due to the surplus of shade, and that creates more than enough work all by itself.

We cut back on the areas of just grass with areas of shrubs, a couple of veggie plots, a few big sections of just flowers, and even spots that we let stay wild for the bees and butterflies.

A bit of sun with 11C temps at just past noon. A quiet day.
