Green Thumbs Untie!

I know. It looks like a typo.
I was going to entitle this "Green Thumbs Unite!"
But, we've already done that! :-)

So, I thought "Untie" might be more interesting.

How about:

Untie those old garden shoelaces and dust off those dirty, old garden shoes.
Untie and (if you haven't already done so) wash those dirty gloves from last Fall.
Untie the key from the garden shed.
Untie the garden tools from their various Winter resting places.
Untie the twine from around the garage garden hose, stretch it out and put it back in its normal resting place.
Untie the reusable yard waste bag and get it ready for its re-use!
Untie unnecessary upcoming time constraints.
Untie and loosen those tight threads of anticipation,

and Let the First Attempts Begin!
(Any more untie ideas out there?) :-)

This is the center of the flower bed in front of the house.
The big bird feeder with the saucer sled is mounted to a pipe that stands in the tree stump in this photo.
Notice about an inch or so of seed debris and bird doo-doo.
I've been eyeing this bed for the past week.
I know there are little bulbs under there, somewhere.
I also know that I put about 2 inches of mulch (oak leaves) over this entire bed last Fall.

Soooo, although it's plenty early... I did some raking today.

Yes, this is a snow shovel and a tiny plastic rake for under bushes.
They made a good pair.

I was right! Look what I found!

Crocuses and...? We'll see.

Doesn't it look so much better?

Boy that wet stuff is heavy!
I could hardy drag the bag to the driveway (about 5 feet). ;-)
If we have a cold forecast, I'll have to head out here with a tarp.
Otherwise, let 'em bloom! :-)

Definitely Not a Shady Subject!!!
