Hi, Wisco, I'm a big fan of perennials, too. Can never resist adding some annuals for bright splashes of color but perennials are the mainstay both front and back at my house. Read that nurseries are doing a booming business this year because of the virus. Oh, how hard it will be to resist! I laugh that my car is on automatic to nurseries here and that most of my retirement goes to supporting the nursery economy. Smiles to all those who love watching small things grow!

Too early to play in the dirt here. I do see yarrow and penstemon peeking through. For me it is still my pencils, pens and craft basket. Thankful to have something to keep my mind busy. I avoid the news and stick with create TV on PBS. More for the sound of outside voices and not the negative thinking that can catch me off guard. Still baking bread and leaving it on my patio to be picked up . Two more weeks of isolation. We can do this!!
