As close to Spring as we're going to get in December


It's been a dry December here in the PNW; in fact, it'll likely be the driest on record. Now, that doesn't mean it's been warm, but we have been able to enjoy a few bright sunny days instead of the usual gloomy grey.


Clover and I hung out in the yard a bit, soaking up the sun.


Planted! The tulips and purple mix are around the yard (and actually, I planted those earlier this month), but all 100 daffodils are now in the tomato planter box by the back door. This will be so great in the spring!!

100 bulbs may seem like a bunch to plant, but scoot on over to my cousin's farm, where they've now planted 100 times as many. Yup, 10,000 daffodils.
