It’s too nice a day to spend all morning at the computer, so I took
the camera and the pruning shears out to the back yard, and I’ll
show you what’s going on:

The rhubarb is coming up nicely, but there’s something eating
it already.

There’s a pansy from the pot that someone brought to Bonnie’s room at the hospice last year about this time.

The woodruff is coming up nicely, and even has some buds.

One of the two lavender bushes I transplanted from Bonnie’s
place has survived, although it’s a little scruffy. I pruned some
of the dead branches off it, and pulled up the dead one. It was
pretty dead even before I moved it, so I’m not surprised it didn’t
revive.

The Angelica plant I brought from Bonnie’s garden looks
healthy.
