Spring Has Sprung!

As I mentioned before, Renea and I rented a booth at the Lee County Flea Market on Saturday.  We sold a lot of our flea market stuff, but not any of our business stuff.  Now we are looking for craft shows to take our business stuff to sell. 

 

As said above, spring has definitely sprung.  It has been sunny and in the upper 70’s to low 80’s.  I have been planting flowers, weeding the rock gardens, cutting grass, feeding the birds, etc., etc., etc.  Yesterday I had three hummingbirds at the feeders.

 

After the flea market we went to Lowe's and bought supplies to plant the trees we bought at the flea market.  I bought a weeping willow and a weeping cherry tree.  

 

 

Kevin planted my weeping willow for me in my back yard

 

He planted my weeping cherry tree next to my deck.

Hopefully, they will survive.

Kevin and Renea bought two weeping willows. They planted theirs in their front yard.

 

While at Lowe's we also bought flowers and potting soil. I bought some petunias, verbena and another hibiscus.  The dahlias I bought a couple of weeks ago are doing great.  I have planted everything except the iris.  I bought three of them. 

 

 

I also bought a couple more bags of rocks.  I am going to put them around the birdbath in my front yard.

 

My azaleas are blooming.  I have cut back my lantanas.  One has some new growth coming up.  I am watching the other three. I have been concerned about my hydrangeas.  It looked like all I had was the sticks left from last year.  However, I now see new growth coming up from the ground, but no new growth on the sticks. Again, I’ll keep watching.  Looks like my potted sticks of trees have survived.  Not sure about the two crepe myrtles that Kevin transplanted from his yard to my yard.  My maple tree looks a little sad, but there is some new growth so I will keep an eye on it.  My water bill will probably be enormous this month since I am watering all the trees. 

 

We have all been miserable with allergies.  The pollen count is in the extreme.  However, it is supposed to rain on Thursday and they say that will help.  I just hope we don’t have any severe storms.
