This comming week will be the last week in March and winter is still really hanging on in my garden. I keep looking and carfefully looking but no matter how much I look, not very much is even thinking of turning green. And I am so impatient as I have a lot of exciting things to look forward to blooming.

Only a very few daylies here and there are starting to grow with a half an inch of green growth. Most of them are doing nothing as yet. It makes the garden look so sorry what with no green growth.

Same with my massive amounts of spring bulbs. Only some of them are up yet. And only my very earliest species crocus are blooming. Waiting for the others to show.

Meantime I am doing my spring rose prunning, started yesterday. Hope to be done by tomorrow.

And I am still on my overwinter exercise and loose weight plan. I just want that scale to move to show my weight going downwards. Not happening even with all the exerecise. This is one of my plateaus in weight it seems to happen. I get stuck at a weight. It must be my body needs to adjust to that weight before I will loose again. Getting outside working in the garden should help but it is still so cold out there I can't stay too long, need to keep taking breaks to go back inside and warm up.
