ladyspriteOkay - while I may not be enjoying the nigh-biblical levels of constant rain out here, apparently everything else living around here is. My lilacs are turning into a lush forest along the side of the house, the row of tulips and daffodils I planted last fall just keep putting out new blossoms, and the irises ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
keshwyn gave us a year and a half ago are flowering for the first time. Even the peas that I managed to plant in the hour or so of sun we got last week are already starting to push up through the dirt.
I planted the rest of our garden yesterday - it wasn't quite the usual joyous wallow in sunshine that it usually is; I was wearing a jacket and watching the sky carefully to make sure I finished before it started to drizzle - but at least I got all of my seeds and seedlings in the ground before the end of the month.
My biggest worry right now is that it seems that our garden has a new fan. When I went out to pick some lilacs last Friday I discovered a very adorable, very sociable, very not-at-all-afraid little bunny rabbit sitting right on the edge of the grass where our property meets our neighbor's. Unfortunately, he would have been much more adorable if, when I shooed him off, he had run into our neighbor's yard instead of ours. I do believe I may have met the culprit who devoured the zucchini plants out of our lower bed last summer, and I need to figure out how to politely yet firmly explain to him that he needs to relocate....
