Granddaughter Nora came a couple of times to weed the front yard beds, She did a good job, and they look better.
The Felco pruners are here, a Christmas gift from aunts Sarah and Winnie, with her name engraved. She's landed on landscape design as her major so it was an appropriate gift.
It was such a win/win. I could pay her, over her objections, and feed her. And I'm sure the neighbors are grateful.
I'm still hopeful, but it loos like a few of my favorite plants didn't make it through the winter. Still, the ones that did are filling in nicely.
Except for some top soil, I've put off any visits to the nursery. Probably just as well, there are frost warnings tonight and tomorrow night.

Those are my favorite pruners as well. They last forever with a bit of oil and some annual sharpening. Daughter has begun Spring Clean up at her Gardening Job. GAS for the vehicles traveling out to the Islands is now a very serious concern....Gas could use up most of the hourly income the two gals earn....driving to sites and back home. This might be something that sends businesses like this into closing. Her employer is mulling things over.. I suggested to daughter that she "top off" the tank each day before or after work. She could afford that. But not filling the entire tank. It's OVER FIVE DOLLARS a gallon here in Maine. Will go higher as Summer People Arrive. Unless they don't
