Well, FinLady, you might not think you're a good example of patience, but I think you are a great one for perserverance!

Good for you to tackle the yardwork and get on top of things before the warmer weather brings on more weeds/work.

My irises are peeking out of the ground. I just planted them last fall and am so excited that they survived! Also I planted dozens of tulips that I'm anxious to have bloom.

Happy Spring!
