Last week we had snow, and this week we have pansies! The weather has been so unseasonably warm that I just can't help being outside! Spending hours in the garden each day, trying to get all the beds ready for spring - these flowers are the first to be planted this year. Last year, our red lab puppy bit the heads off of many, many flowers in the beds. Now, a year old, I am hoping he will be less interested in my precious blooms. So, I have planted six small plants to "test the waters", and I have memorialized them in paint, in the event they meet an untimely demise! Painting number 803 in 803 days :)
