    Today is in upper 70s. dr took some pictures.

    First, his morning work. Three lines of clothes blowing in the breeze. That's our rosemary in the lower corner. Takes up half the shed door.

    Our apricot trees have started to flower. When you walk under them you can hear them buzzing. Nice sky, too.

    Next is my first daffidol. It's a mini. It couldn't wait until it grew taller.

    I moved my inside plants out for some sun. First a grouping of lavender, kalenchoe, heather, basil and tuberous begonia.

    Then, the big spider plant.

    You can see the peter pan iris's growing behind it.

    Finally a couple pictures of plants I wintered over in the exercise room. They seemed to have survived. I will feed them, maybe tomorrow. They need to be trimmed, too.

    So, you can see that though the official spring isn't until March 21st it has sprung here today. Dooley

    Great pics Dooley, spring has most definitely sprung for you. You get such beautiful blue skies in Arizona. What is the big spider plant sitting on?

    All that washing blowing in the breeze. I'm afraid mine would be like cardboard if I hung it out just now as it still gets very frosty here. Your plants all look fit and healthy and I'll bet the indoor ones really enjoyed all that sunshine. :-D

    The spider plant is sitting on a little pull cart with a lid. You can sit on it and you can put tools in it. A nice yard sale find. I put all the plants inside tonight. I guess tomorrow I will put them all back out. I still don't trust the weatherman enough to leave them outside at night. I bought little plant food spikes and fed the inside plants today.

    Lookin' good, Dooley.
    I've resisted hauling out many plants yet,
    but it's getting really hard to resist, :D
    it's starting to feel mighty spring-y around here, too.
