I took this picture of one of two purple hyacinths I planted last year that bloomed for the first time in the past two days. I’m just thrilled with it.
I told you, though, that my husband and I were working on the irrigation system most of the day yesterday. We had the two doggies out with us. All was going well. Amber was being particularly good, not dive-bombing sweet Molly,
when I noticed that at SOME time while we were out Amber had decided to ‘taste’ the hyacinth. Now we have one good-looking one and the one in the picture above is about half gone… At least she didn’t pull it out by the roots!
