Spring Has Sprung

Spring has sprung, the grass has riz, where are all the flower is? That's an old old saying that goes well this time of the year. Spring is in the air. The Robins are back and the other birds as well. You wake up to birds singing now in the mornings instead of hearing sleet, hail, or watch snow coming down. Time to get the rake out. Got the leaves and old branches and shrubs out of the flower bed and the tulips are really high already. We have a little trick we do. We put those little flags in the flower bed, the ones the gas man puts in your yard to mark where the pipes are, etc. They flutter with the slightest breeze and keep the birds from eating the fresh green tops on the tulips. Works every time.
