I'm looking forward to planting and trying to get in the greenhouse since we are having a melt this week.

I'm late in planting in the house....that should get done this week...I love pansies.

Glorious daffodils at the Chicago Garden Show a few years back at Navy Pier.

Our porch bloomed, not this year, yet.
Nothing is on my front door yet, or on the front porch except twigs and wind refuse,

Table in the past.
Ivy topiary and bunny from last year. Mid 30's this year, too cold for this.

Planning food for company, Carrots are a must.

We're going to scrub the back porch, when it isn't below freezing.

Will I get to use these great Spring tablecloths on the porch, or will we be stuck inside with another snow storm?
