The garlic I planted last fall is growing, too. Saw a flower on the vinca vine beneath the birch tree in the back and found remnants of lettuce, carrots and onions from last year starting up again. Lots of cleanup work to do and now we've got a covering of snow, but knowing that gardening season is on its way makes everything better!<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying the change of seasons, too!Anne Buterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090778223286237879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-24412717033820296742016-03-18T21:49:29.167-07:002016-03-18T21:49:29.167-07:00What beautiful gifts to get from a great blogger l...What beautiful gifts to get from a great blogger like Connie.

On my way home last night, it was snowing - lightly, but it was SNOWING, like the way it should in March in Minnesota! But we are all waiting and suffering a bit from Spring Fever!!!!!!!<br /><br />What a kind gesture from Connie, and I love her tag! teeehheheeeeeee<br /><br />Your transformed bunny pot is special; white paint does WONDERS on so many objects and makes them fresh and new for spring. <br /><br />Wishing you a wonderful day of dreaming and planning my friend!

Then all sorts of 'real' people weigh in. I received a lot of advice on opossum living under my shed. Very enlightening. So, you may find some great advice on those beautiful but pesky deer!<br /><br />I think your idea for wrapping your containers with fabric is genius. Can I steal this???! :)<br /><br />Jane Blondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-66937277842471523362016-03-17T20:36:37.279-07:002016-03-17T20:36:37.279-07:00We have the opposite problem in Central Florida, S...We have the opposite problem in Central Florida, Summer arrived last weekend.

Very sweet towels, very sweet gifting. I lo...Nancy,<br />Very sweet towels, very sweet gifting. I love crocuses, especially the Purple ones, darn critter/deer. I have problems with squirrels - I plant and they dig up the fresh dirt flinging, stomping and planting nuts!!!<br />So I have started to top my planters with pea gravel. The news is threatening us with a bit of snow, mid 80's last week to snow??? I was planning to buy Purple pansies tomorrow ... Stupid spring snowstorm.<br />Loving your bunny redo - seriously a buck?
