In Celebration of Spring

For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

The flowers appear on the earth;

the time of the singing of birds is come,

and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

The fig tree putteth forth her green figs,

and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell.

~Song of Solomon 2:11-13a (KJV) 

Spring Cleaning; No More Hibiscus Hoarding

No doubt about it, the gorgeous weather is here to stay.  No excuses anymore for this mess of a garden.  I've let things go all winter, since I can't bear the chill in my bones.  No, it isn't just about being wimpy.  I have serious cold-sensitivity issues that cause my bones to ache and my skin to burn when the temperature falls below 70°F.  TMPI, huh?  So anyway, this Saturday is spring cleaning day here in the PITV garden, and BIG changes are taking place!  Bless my husband's heart!  He has been out there chopping and digging and weeding for hours already this Saturday morning.  And he has made decisions for me that I have been waffling over for two years!
