Spring has sprung, and I’ve been super busy watching my yard bloom over the last few weeks. Most recently, I noticed a few days ago, my array of colorful tulips were disappearing..just the bloom part. As of this writing, I only have one tulip that hasn’t become lunch. The squirrels  did do something a little nice…leaving the purple one intact…which, by the way, is my favorite color.

Even before Spring officially arrived, and going back to probably mid January, it seems the proverbial stink bugs decided to camp out inside my kitchen window. By a first glance, they look to be frozen solid, but as the day progresses, they come back to life. I keep reading that these stinky bugs detest cold weather, thus their decision to camp out in my window. I have only seen one of them recently, but it has moved on…to a different zip code ….hopefully.

What would life be without all of the marvel and wonder of these creatures? I suppose they have as much right to a happy life as we all do. I’m hoping and praying the squirrels have decided to chew on dead sticks …. rather than devouring what’s left of my tulips. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Once again, Spring has arrived, and I am continuing to enjoy watching my variety of flowers pop up and appear. As well as the perennials along my creek area …I’ve had for many years. They don’t appear to interest the squirrels (for now).  One last flower bulb order arrived a few days ago. I haven’t decided where to place this purple gem, but for now, it is safe from whatever critter that might decide to choose it for their next meal.

I trust my flowers on my front porch will be safe. So far so good. Now we wait.

Happy Spring y’all.
