 The ferns are growing - I have to move them soon:

 


 This is the bark on the dead tree - have seen several more just like it in our area:

 


  Oh, how they love to get out on the grass!



 So pretty but they don't last long:

 


 Mint! The patch gets bigger every year!

Still chilly....

 Rainy and damp on Saturday:

 


But the sun did come out right before sunset...:




Had frost yesterday morning - cannot plant anything for another two weeks:




Sounds like Benji swallowed a frog!!!


Bought a new birdbath with a planter on the bottom - will have to wait until it's

 warmer to put flowers in it!


And yes, THEY'RE BACK!!!!


Grandson stopped by with beautiful flowers yesterday!


And so did oldest son!!


They stayed for lunch and we had a wonderful day!

'Hope you did too!
