Are you ready for Spring?

Alex did a lot of work on our lawn this weekend, so I was inspired to go around and take photos of a few of the early bloomers like flowering almond, some kind of flowering cherry tree (I think), and some purplish tulips that I do not remember planting.

My other weekend project was to divide some African violets I have been rooting. A few months ago, I realized my street-facing bathroom window has light that my African violets really love, so I rooted three leaves, and they all resulted in little plants! I left the big one in the middle in the African violet pot, but I carefully removed the other two plants and repotted them.

I put the medium-sized one in this made-in-the-UK clay teacup planter, a gift from my friend Sandra many years ago. I have a matching large teapot planter too, but I haven't yet decided what's going into it this year.

And this tiny little plant is temporarily going to grow (I hope!) in a tiny little teapot planter I found at a garden shop in Wisconsin some years ago.

It turned cooler this weekend, and Spring doesn't officially arrive until Wednesday, but I'm ready for it. Are you?
