Garden space hogs must go. I dug out a big clump of Black Mondo Grass and some old root bound Japanese iris from this corner of the bed. Nice to see a bit of open real estate.
I'm trying to make space for the new inhabitants arriving in the mail soon-- all impulse purchases from the colorful catalogs. Hey, we were bored this winter. It's kind of like the baby boom after a power outage. Seemed like a fun idea at the time, but then the work starts.
You notice my sparkling white bird bath. We have a bird salmonella outbreak in Washington, spread mostly by flocks of Pine Siskins at feeders. We've supposed to take them down or clean them daily with bleach solution. Of course, no one wants to do that.
Bird baths are also a disease problem, so I scrubbed it with Clorox. I really enjoy watching the constant bathing outside the window, but now they hate it. Maybe it smells like a chlorinated swimming pool.
Quite chilly this morning and the roofs are covered with frost. But blue skies, and it looks like a mostly dry and sunny week coming up. Nice.
A couple of cute pictures of Nova and Maya making a spaghetti dinner. They look like kitchen angels, but trust me, they are real live messy girls.
