We had to have our septic tank worked on and the man ran right over them and then backed over them then spun his tires it's awful. He had told Johnny that he "may" catch the corner of them but there isn't anything left standing and the way he spread the dirt I can't even see anything green. Did I mention it's awful?

Most of the blackberries were destroyed by the yahoos who "tried" to take down a large,diseased oak tree. This tree company is on Angie's list and we are filing a claim with their insurance company. They made the biggest mess and tried to hide it by taking a tractor and pushing the tree wood into the woods scraping up the blackberries a long the way. We called another company and it cost us $2,000.00 to fix the mess they made I think the blackberries will come back but they're gone for this year.

I just went out & checked the bed where my crocus are. They have about 5 inches of dead dry leaves covering them, but when I got to the ground, nope not popping up here early. So, again, good for you!!!! ________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....

Not sure what spring will bring.

It's a little early for the daffodils but they haven't opened their buds yet.

It's up against a wooden post but the pansys close to it look pitiful. Go figure.
