Turn My Brown Thumb Green
Chris and I just bought a house in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle. Like most houses here, it has beautiful and complex foliage surrounding it. Unfortunately, I haven't mowed a lawn in 12 years, and Chris is mainly good at growing mold. This blog is to help solicit much needed advice about gardening, home repairs and to let you know of any little adventures in our lives.

Perhaps That Groundhog Was Right
The timing of my new job starting in November seemed to coincide perfectly with the garden no longer needing much of my time or effort. More energy could be spent on getting furniture (what student loans?) or doing, well, anything else.
Coming back from my run this morning, I found this in the backyard:
Hmmm....perhaps it's time to get back to work soon.
Our neighbors have daffodils in full bloom, and we have many other yet-to-be-identified bulb plants that have sprouted but not yet revealed their blooms. This should be fun, as I didn't realize those bulbs were in the ground. We may have many new surprises awaiting us.
