First Day of Spring

On the first day of spring 2011, the afternoon high was around 78 degrees. It was a beautiful sunny day. The pansies I planted last fall came back better than ever.

The hostas are making an appearance.
And the neighbor's forsythia is in full bloom. Gorgeous! Today I cleaned out the mint and blanket flower bed, and trimmed the old blooms from the hydrangea. I also added a layer of peat to the hosta bed. It was supposed to be mixed into the soil, but when I tried doing that, I pulled up a clump of hosta. I ended up just patting it down on the top.
