Good-Bye Flannel

Finally it's been more like June. On the 17th we parted our flannel sheets! That's almost 8 months of winter. Two weeks ago we had hard time believing we could get rid of flannel sheets this year.
And after the long wait, spring flowers are in bloom all at once. In the photo is a lupine bouquet Joe picked the other day. Now that we have our own hill behind the house, we can fill our backyard with flowers... we just picked up seed packages for oriental poppies and chinese lanterns for a starter. Our sunflower seeds have been nicely sprouting too. Exciting!!
