We have a lot of purple blooms this spring, and a few pink, but there is one tiny yellow one too. Last June I planted some half price rannuculus bulbs. I planted out of season, and hoped for a few blooms.

Happy Homemaker Monday
The closet "extreme clean" is still going on. I'm impressed if I pull at least a few items a day around here.
My green onion is in full harvest due to the recent weather. I could not let it be ignored with the twist of weather today. I made a batch of fresh green onion/parsley pesto. I plan to use some in our breakfast this morning.
Compost has now been added to the gardens. I have yet to pull the bean fence, but we have a few days before tilling is done. I think this year has been the earliest to get these jobs done, and I am thankful for that. In May, it's typically hit or miss weather for getting planting done.
Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
I will link up when she posts.
