Species tulips and other things
Spring has arrived though with a little backsliding just now temperature-wise. Lilacs are doing well after some lackluster years.
Television Spy Communication
Does anyone recall a communicator hiding in a compact?
If it actually was a video conference device, I'd have to think it was more sci-fi than spycraft.

Returned Spy Television, after coming back from a little plant and grocery shopping. The book was good, the shopping soso.

Crocus!
Quite a few crocus are blooming in various spots!
I'm currently reading a book on communications theory; it's a related field but a touch of a stretch, but not more so than Philosophy of the Mind (college course) was. Another tool to talk about reading/viewing/listening.
Hope you are doing well.

Spring is running
The melt is going to the storm sewer and thence the lakes. I'll return but I want to play in the sun before the rains come.
No the Polar Vortex didn't get me
I'm fine. Today is a bit cold but it's sunny and everything looks like it has a rock candy coating. The snow did melt a fair bit during the warm up and then rain.

So, it's been almost a month and I'm just now getting back to this. I have been reading a lot recently, though. And I did manage to get back into my email!
I'm wondering if I ever signed up for fanlore or not. Oh, if anyone knows Regina, Mirrored Images was transferred to by Archivist to AO3. Yes, that romp back from the days of yore.

I'm BACK!
Yeah, it's been nutty, but I am starting to get things a little less discombobulated.
I don't know whether I've got all my posts from lj brought over, it looks like that stalled at some point.
So, I should find some people.

Species tulips in bloom!
They're cerise, two behind the pink peony bush (the tulips are taller than the peony buds) and one in front of the main crocus riot.
I looked at entries from years past--no stems on the daffodils so far. Some of the crocus have started the petal dissolve. Tulip leaves have curvature, in many spots though there are still young tip ups in some places. The original crocus are up in the lawn blooming when it's light, having joined the white ones already in progress.

This is the Annex
Various chaos is happening elsenet, so I thought I'd start a nest over here.
ETA2:Import of entries (seemingly) completed. Comments to go.
EDIT:So, I've got import being worked on (things were hitting elsenet issues, hopefully they'll be successful later. Icons imported and I uploaded a few from my hard drive.
Hope people are having a good spring.

Happy First Crocus!
This time my first crocus bloomed in the colony on the south side of the lilac. It's a small type, purple outside and light inside, with a red pistil surrounded by orange stamens.
In other garden news daffodil, tulips and crocus leaves are poking up everywhere. Still have snow on the north side of the house, in the bed between the drive and path, and in the shade garden.
Yay, Spring!

So, there are day lilies everywhere bursting in color (not really everywhere, but) and I think they're more all going to show a few blooms this year. Some of them are very similar. I started the process of iris borer patrol, have a pile of iris getting rained on before they go back into the ground/holding pots. Raspberries are nearly done, so I'll be cutting canes out pretty shortly.

So, the tulips are nearly at an end, the fringed cerise still look good and the verdigris, and the camissa are blooming, the iris have started and I can see the clumps split from the original 'homestead iris' The cranesbill are blooming, the clematis has an opened bloom and the peonies are swollen with buds.
The lilac is over, the lilies of the valley scent, and the new buddelia is in th the 2nd bed. Allium balls float over the garden and the lace elder has clusters to open soon. False dragonhead has multiplied well and both leadplants have made it through.

The violets have started blooming, and the cerise species tulips punctuate the yard, while many of the crocus are past prime. Bumble bees have started flights and the hyacinths are starting to have more color and less sci-fi design. Daffs have heavy buds and I expect one to open tomorrow.
May have lost the new mum to the snow melt of the clothesline bed. Mum by elder doing well, and one in first bed looks good. Centura mounds, lambsears, fans of iris and daylily and various bloom leaves are doing the bulk of the work. Sea holly was snug under a mat of leaves.

Fluffy snow a white throw across my garden grow.
The past few days of spring have been fun if a lot of work, but now there is snow icing the crocus (the first opened the 16th, in the sunniest part of the backyard, but over the days a veritable bonnet of blossoms beam in many places, including a few in the front (an earlier type than the first year's.)) Guess the hellebores will get to bloom in the snow.

While last winter I did get the bowling balls plucked from the snow, not all of them were found until thaw. New growth is appearing on the asters, the hardy geraniums, sedums and at least one of the ladysmantles. Other plants brought some of their leaves through, or got new ones together under cover of snow.
Saw a furbearing mammal today, it dove under the ice.

Snow has come and looks to stay awhile. I've not fished the bowling balls out of it yet, but other than that, and some mustard leaf and onion harvesting I'd already ended the garden season.
