One of my Hellebores, also known as Lenten Roses, is blooming! This is the second year I've had them, and I even transplanted this specific one last summer. Just as promised, it is blooming in February...hooray!
There is even a second bud back there.
The girls and I zipped through school work and were done by early afternoon. The girls have been playing very nicely downstairs - they haven't had this opportunity for some weeks now. I shudder to think what the downstairs looks like though!
I used my "free time" today to stack nearly a cord of wood under the barn lean-to. We were getting perilously low on firewood, so we purchased 2 truck loads of it. It was 2+ hours of hard work, and my elbow, which has been hurting since I painted the garage ceiling during Christmas break, is terribly sore now. I enjoyed the solitude, however. The rain drummed on the metal roof, and Kali wandered around, sniffing out mouse nests in the woodpile.
I just fixed myself a cup of tea, swallowed 4 Advil, and sat down for a bit of rest. I just realized, of course, that it's already past time to begin dinner preparations.
Sigh.
Maybe I'll put on some "Blind Jaguar" (as Jenna calls them) music and get pumped!

If "Blind Jaguar" gets people pumped to make supper, I may need to borrow that CD!!
I haven't lifted a finger to make dinner except to call Martin and ask him to pick up pizzas.
Hellebores! I'm so jealous. Where do I get some?
The deer won't eat Hellebore either! I might be able to divide some of mine later this spring...they like shade.
