Daffodils got a mild coat of ice last week, but are still looking great, though they're standing in dry grassy weeds. Lily plants are spouting in back and need to be transplanted to rescue from the dogs who now live back there. We finally got rain. On top of our now-powdery soil, that equals a finely ground mud. Supposed to be warm today, but I don't know about next weekend, when I might be able to finally attack the yard with a shovel and get some fencing up to keep the dogs out of my veggie patch (where a couple of volunteer onions have sprouted and my garlic is returning.)
