Season in the Sun

    I just came in from raking the yard, the area where the peonies are.  The irises look as if they want to grow, and the daffodils have sprouted up an inch or so. And the red peony shoots, which typically wait awhile, are also making an appearance.  I hope they recover from the inevitable.  Meanwhile, I think I'll have minimal raking to do this spring---will anyone want to go shopping?  Lunch?
