A flower!

We planted a bunch of bulbs during the early phases of Two Turtles Garden, very few of which actually came out of the ground at all. I blame the squirrels for that. I forget what we put where, and will have to defer to Doodle's vast horticultural geeniyus on what this one is*, but it finally bloomed! Shiny!

Everything else is doing quite well, though it is getting a bit inconvenient to water with the watering can out back, since my outdoor water fixture decided to burst last winter (never even used it, didn't even know it was turned on until it flooded my shed. Oops. Learned my lesson to check the shut off valves when it gets cold.) Hopefully my dear brother or my handy neighbor will come over some day and help me fix it. *wink wink nudge nudge* My tomato plants are quite the water hogs, but it will be worth it when all those little green tomatoes turn red & yummy. I shall sit under them with a book in my lap and pick them straight off the vine & pop them into my mouth. Yummy!

Back to work, but I will leave you with a picture of Myrtle & Petunia masquerading rather successfully as a pair of shoes.


* I freely admit that bulb knowledge is not my strong spot in plant identification.
