I thought March was supposed to be calmer when I originally looked at my date book. But slowly the days have filled up with these markings - in pen and you know that is permanent - so I have no free time this month either. Meetings, trainings, appointments, etc..

However, the beautiful weather this weekend gave me the opportunity to work in the gardens. I did not do anything foolish like lifting the insulating cover of leaves... I merely cut the dead stuff. No need for them for winter landscaping anymore! So many bulbs coming up - some in unexpected spots - and I began work on the rose bush. I would say the score ended up being Vasa-1, rose bush-0. Hubby looked at my arms and said he disagreed with that, but no bloodshed, so I win. Next project - get the grape arbour rebuilt - before the vine starts to bloom!
