Daffodils and squills! The squills were my idea, but Jackie did most of the work in our little flower garden, except that the lilies, which won’t bloom for another couple of months, were left by the previous member.

A view out my study window, where the flowering crabapple tree is in full bloom, and a dandelion flower with a pollen-covered bee. #bloomscrolling

I bestirred myself to spend three hours yesterday digging up the flower bed in front of our house, separating lilies and daffodils, and mixing in compost. Jackie replanted the flowers that we’d thinned along with some Siberian squills and some irises. Now I can spend the winter dreaming of spring flowers.
