Today the temperatures felt more like spring.  I turned more soil in my vegetable garden and planted peas.  In the midst of turning the soil i was startled when i turned over a toad!  The large toad (easily a large handful) gave me dirty looks as it watched me till the soil.  It finally had enough and started hopping off.  I was concerned that it wouldn't be able to get through the fencing... but it proved that it could get through without a problem.  I didn't get a photo of the toad... but i did take these shots.

The Tet-e-tet daffodils are looking pretty small this year.
I think we need some rain to perk them up.

Now i am praying for some spring rain.

Today when i got home from work, it was pleasant enough to do some gardening. I had been waiting for this day. I got out my gloves and tools and dug up dandelions and did general maintenance to the garden.

It felt so good.

I noticed that a lot of my smaller bulbs (grape hyacinth, scilla) have spread out and are filling in. :-)
