Spring Continued.

Goldfinches on the water at the fountain.  Unfortunately the 6-year-old solar-powered fountain has died, but the bowl still holds water, so the birds probably like it just as well.  But, me?  I will have to order another fountain.  Got pine straw distributed to more trees and plants and it is amazing how nice it makes everything look - despite the fact that I live in a "yard" filled with weeds, very few blades of grass, and this year so far, very few dandelions!  And the bees have died!  Not just ours, but others have dead bees also. And my sago palm I brought from Clemson also seems to have given up all its life - So far no green showing.  Did our winter do this?   Lettuce is ready to begin pulling leaves - I'll wait another day or two perhaps and use up the store-bought stuff while the lettuce gets a bit more growth.  Have two new spaghetti squash plants peeking out of the potting soil!  Put seeds from the one I ate last week or so into a tiny pot and  voila!  Plants!  Amazing grace!
