I am still here…

I promise I have not fallen off the face of the earth.  I have just had my head buried in book keeping.  I am so weary of staring at numbers on a computer screen it feels like my eyeballs are going to fall out. 
It is my own doing…I have neglected to keep my Backwoods Cottage account up to date and now that it is tax time I have to catch up and get all the entries done for the IRS.   A few weeks ago it was for the Corporation accounts, that was a dilly too. 
I would much rather enjoy being outdoors, walking among the flowers planted in abundance at Ironstone Winery.

Barrels and barrels filled with every imaginable spring bulb, flower and rhizome..

I love Dutch Iris’, they make such a statement planted in mass. 
They have tulips in every color..

This little show is just a smattering of what you can see walking among the grounds.
I am awaiting the lilacs to begin, there is a trail to walk between a row of numerous varieties, and it is heaven to walk thru and just breathe!
I will, of course, take my camera.  I am too tired to do this justice but I just wanted to pipe in here.  Tomorrow we go to the valley and enjoy the near 80 degree temps, it will feel like summer to me, though it was nice today in the mid-60’s here, melting the snow at a record pace. 
Until we meet again..

  14. A wonderful spring array. I know just how you feel about numbers on a screen. I have to do 5 lots of tax statements per annum for our farm as well as two personal ones and I am overdue for one of them!
    I too have trouble gathering my thoughts for posts and comments.
    Loved seeing your bright photos.
