After the sun came out yesterday, I ventured into the back yard with my camera.
I know I told you that there wasn't really anything happening in my garden here at home.....but what a difference a day makes...
I couldn't believe that my precious Peonies were poking thru the ground.... These are the plants that I got from my Mom so many years ago, and they never fail to amaze...
This is REALLY early for Peonies...don't you agree??
They normally bloom in mid-June...wonder when they will bloom this year???
Crazy crazy crazy weather....

I really look forward to the Chives every year....what a great perennial herb...every
garden should have some......grab one when your garden stores open, and enjoy for years to come. :o)
Take a look in your gardens....you might be suprised to see what is poking out
Let me know what you have in your own back yard
Supposed to cool out this weekend....back to normal temps....BOOOOO!!
Enjoy The Sun :o)
I was also worried about my heritage peonies, that I transplanted last fall. Much to my delight, there are some red buds poking up! I just hope this rapid growth of late doesn't suffer when the temps. fall this weekend. Yeah Spring!
