And just like that, springtime is here! It’s still cold but the temperature is slowing climbing – and the rain has come!  I like rains during spring cause it means, hopefully, that the summer wouldn’t be that hot, or at least, not that dry.  The daffodils my husband planted are blossoming – not all of them yet, but they’re slowing showing.  I’m also seeing a lot of cherry blossoms around. Hmmm.. I wonder if hubs and I can squeeze in a time to see the cherry blossom festival in DC.   Soon, the tulips will be coming out. My dear hubbie said that this could be a good year for the tulips because the winter temps have been consistent – no nosedives on the temp scale to confuse the flowers that it’s time to come out.

I can’t wait to see the tulips my husband planted this year. Last year he uprooted this bush on the corner of our front yard that was getting to be a nuisance.  He also transplanted some of the large bromeliads to our backyard and in their places, he planted a lot of tulip bulbs. And I’m really counting on seeing them all come out a few weeks from now. This is the time of year that I love taking pictures of the flowers in our garden.

Even for hubs, this is his favorite time of the year. He looks forward to all the planting he’d be doing – both in our flower and our vegetable gardens. Altho we might be doing a little bit of cleaning this year in the yard.  (God, please give us the time to do so .  We had a walk around the neighborhood one night and while we looked at some of our neighbors’ front yards, we decided that we want to downgrade on some of the “shrubbery” in ours. Just to give our elevation a “neater” view.

It would be a big feat to do some new landscaping, tho. But with my husband’s green thumb, I guess we have a better chance of accomplishing the task.

But just in case we can’t get it done, I wonder how much TruGreen would charge for the job? (Trust me, I’m not really that good with plants but I do know a thing or two that could be a big help, ha ha ha).
