On Candlemas, I took my Christmas tree down all by myself and dragged it to the driveway. I started to cut it up with a hand saw, but that was slow going, and I decided to ask my neighbor to have at it with his power tools, so I can put it in my yard waste bin.
As I hauled the tree along the front walk, I noticed that the first anemone is blooming, and in the back garden a bee was drinking from the manzanita flowers.

I enjoy reading about your various flowers, and bees. It looks like an early Spring here too. I was outside pulling out chickweed which is flourishing!

I spent three days, several hours each day, pulling weeds in my garden. Finally have spread mulch everywhere so I can breathe a sigh of relief. I’m wondering if this spring, coming in like a lamb, will go out like a lion… We often get very cold weather into May…
